IMHO there no sense in adding a link to a *beta* section... it would be better to make sure everything is working with the distribution section before we make take it live. Besides someone needs to come up with a redesign of the LUG home page... volunteers??? > b.

Well, its entirely possible with an little bit of extra coding.... but the idea was that the person updating the sections can follow the instructions given as HTML comments and simple add or remove the necessary lines to these sections. That way, the updater doesn't have to worry about unwieldy HTML code, s/he can simple use the existing ones as a template without worrying about breaking anything. The updation links would be finally linked to the "SITEADMIN" link you can see at the bottom of the left pane of getdistro.php link. > c.

Russell (McOrmand) recently wrote to me (after I informed him of our decision to revamp the site) that he is planning to migrate the mailing list to Mailman list manager from mj. Mailman comes with its own comprehensive web-based interface. In face of this fact, I'm not sure how much worthwhile it will be to create a web-interface for mj right now.... > d. What about maintaining a mail-archive of the list divided on a monthly > section. It has been maintained at www.yahoogroups.com/group/ilug-cal/ since ever since we moved to our own majordomo server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|) Just my Rs. 0.02... ;-) --indra. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
