Apparently I *did* misunderstand Zack; I thought he was asserting that that
was the case.

Rough time with English this month, I guess...  :-}

Re: [hackers] Deanster run at DFA

2003-07-28 Thread Joshua Koenig
Just catching the tail end of this, but we're fully planning to run
deanster, I've got the server space planned, and I'm looking to hire 
for
someone to administer. So all we're doing is making sure its designed 
in
a way we can manage. There's a lot of projects we're going to build on
this, and it runs off our main database (we'll be sending out email
asking folks to register additional info to fill out deanster 
profile).
This is one that we're completely committed to -- and it would be 
silly
to set up rival deansters off site!
Except that if you run the auth, then all sites have to be approved and
vetted... or have I managed to completely misunderstand this whole 
thread,
Zack?

Except that if you run the auth, then all sites have to be approved and
vetted... or have I managed to completely misunderstand this whole thread,
Zack?
