There are series which are "owned" but I think this is an historical feature or relates to time-dependent shows. I have tried to make sure that any series I have suggested or caused to come into existence are open to all, and I know that has been the trend lately. This particular one was originally closed (I think) but is now open to all, so go ahead. Sounds like a great topic. If you examine http://hackerpublicradio.org/series.php the title, show count and description are there for all existing series. To be honest, I think the whole series thing needs to be reviewed and rationalised a bit. I'd like to make it clearer what each series is about, whether it's open for additions or not (e.g. SELF Talks 2009: probably not), maybe something about the date range of the episodes in it, and other stuff. Oh, and we have discussed allowing shows to be members of multiple series - something that the database design can't cater for now. That's just crazy talk though :-) Dave -- Dave Morriss, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK | [email protected] _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
