Well I was thinking tonight that the SC site isn't really much of a community which is what it's supposed to be. I've been wondering about various ways to improve it, but I don't want to do message boards or that kind of thing as it might take some traffic off this list. However, would a Slashdot style of page interest anyone? Where people can comment on news and also possibly post their own bits and pieces? The voting system is another thing I'd like to do... > And, PLEASE, don't use .TD0 teledisk files at all!!!

Well, I'll be entirely honest and admit that I know very little about SAD files. DSK files are easy, lots of wee utilities available no matter what computer you're running etc. Can you list a few of the main benefits of SAD? My plan was to make everything as .dsk file, zipped up. The zip file may contain a small text document containing author contact info etc, and any other information. But yeah, if the site is going to be a community, then we should all vote on this. I'll put up some kind of a voting form on the website at the weekend and give people (say) a week to vote. > Oh, that was not "finally". I have yet another thread.

If anyone wants to do such a database, I'd like to host as part of SCFL. It doesn't interest me personally but I guess it would be a nice thing to have.
