Adrian: I began working on a voting cgi that will be generic enough to be used for all
our voting needs last night. I'm not sure when it will be fully ready though. Alain,
is this functionality already covered by your collaboration infrastructure? I would
really like to know what has been done
with this infrastructure and what needs to be done so that I get help out.

Adrian: How would you implement it so that the passwords remain
safe while the cgi can be placed in the downloads folder (so others
can make changes, bug fixes etc)?

Adrian: I have started one as I mentioned above, so if you haven't
already got one programmed, perhaps it would be best for you to
continue with other aspects of the collaboration infrastructure.

Adrian: That's what I was hoping to hear. :) You are most definitely welcome to
continue hosting the UFP and OpenCard web sites, you've done such a good job in the
past.
