I am also a perl person and found python docs on python.org as a good starting point. I was able to write the original library.cgi from examples already in the webserver part of freevo in a couple hours.
Dischi and others have talked about web setup as well. There are certain things you need to do to get this to get the web to work out of the box that aren't done by default. I have been considering a curses application to get a minimal setup and then final tweaking through the web. There is no official todo list for the web server. But you are welcome to add to it. I have done so myself and am planning on adding another new feature soon. -- Mike Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://world.std.com/~mruelle/ On Monday 09 June 2003 21:26, Trevor Phillips wrote: > I manage a Freevo box for a club, which is perfect for easily screening > media and such, but beyond the basic usage, you start dabbling with XML > files with text editors.
