Dear Friends The revamping of the website was much needed. I have gone through both Indra and Siddharth's mail and would like to put forward my suggestions. Much of the links as suggesated as OK. >However the "about us " link is non essential. We are not a corporate entity and people generally do have an idea of what a linux user association is. Hence I think that the above link is redundant. >Also in contact information, give a single point of contact. Get the address of an member who is willing to provide this service. Remember it would be difficult to be always available to provide information. Also contact email addreses listed on the website should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] which can then be redirected to the proper personal accounts. >The project section is welcome and we need to do something on the lines of sourceforge. Let the user list their own projects! >Their should be an article section in which we can put in the contents of siddharth's help section. The article section should be categorised. >I think that the index page or home page should have the bulletin board (in place of the CD replication page it presently has), in which the members would post their comments/finds regularly. This would satisfy the need of an ever changing dynamic home page and is the general style followed in 90% of the sites of this type.
I suggest that we use PHP nuke as the basis of making the website (download from source forge) as it more or less all the functionalities we require. The interface can be customised to give it a linux feeling. I shall try to get two three designs which we can use for our site. I still to know the database and the platform we are using? Can Indra lighten me on it. Your views and critics are welcome. ciao Chayan _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
