Well, the status is as follows: Marvin has transferred the domain to me, so assuming the DNS records have timed out, you should start getting pages from my server and not bellsouth. I'll probably have more time to work on it this weekend, and by then, everyone should be seeing my server. I've done some experimentation with my cvs server, which knows how to maintain web sites, and what I think I will offer is this: Anyone who qualifies can get cvs write access to the repository which controls www.gedasymbols.org. They'll normally be limited to a user-specific directory, in which they can put symbols, footprints, tools, and/or documentation. I'll try to figure out a way to index all this. Some users who have earned trust, will also be able to edit the common pages, and/or CGIs, yada yada yada. I do have psql on that machine but I haven't figured out a useful way to integrate it without opening security holes. Maybe I'll have users check in CSV files, and do the indexing and database myself. I'll probably work out some server magic to convert symbol and footprint files to HTML web pages on the fly; so you'd see a thumbnail and some information, with links to download, when you invoke the url for the symbol file. That way, people can focus on the symbols and footprints, and not worry so much about the html end of things. I'm not sure what to do about "anonymous" contributions yet.
