Well, each member info is accompanied by an optional "Short Bio" section. I can also add additional fields if necessary. With regard to searching the members db, I will try to find out what can be done. Most probably a simple module will do.

Don't worry - I got deferred at P'ton. :-( However, there's 95% chance that I will be leaving Kolkata in August next year (I have also applied to a number of other US Universities) But still, I can always work on the website from anywhere in the world - I just need a proper computer :-). > We all receive links, articles and > topical write-ups on the FSF/OS/Linux movement, could we post the same to > the website so that it serves as a one stop bulletin board for news - such > process will it be syndication ? Most of the contributing members have write access to the content management of the site. If you, or any other member need the same, please do write to me personally, and I will enable it for you. -cheers- sdg -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [ http://www.peacefulaction.org/sayamindu/ ] * GNU is Not Unix * ....
