Neither Technical Group and Web content Group
As may or may not be obvious the Neither web site both the technical side and the content side are not being maintained as well as they should be. Some of this is lack of time and some of it a lack of knowledge. Because of this it has been proposed that 2 groups be formed, one to deal with technical issues and one to create and administer the content of the web site. Peter Green has said he'd be interested in working on the web pages and David Kidd has already done some work creating a links page. We could either use the public-list and use subject threads to keep the messages together or I can set up 2 small email lists; neither-techgroup and neither-webgroup. Tech Group This group I envisage more as being a source of suggestions, rather than people in this group actually doing the work. Though we could make arrangements for people to do some of the work. Web Group These people would actually be editing and designing web pages. This could be arranged in a number of ways, pages could be emailed or ftp'd to a central person who then puts them together or the responsibility for sections of the site could be given to various people who have ftp permissions for that section. I've written a brief how the site works doc, which I'll email to anyone interested or those who want to be involved in the technical group. Look for the email message "http://www.neither.org/projects/technical/priorities.htm" (note: this link does not go anywhere. This message will contain a list of the suggested technical priorities. Regards Luke
RE: Web content Group
Proposed Structure of the New (improved?) Neither Web Site (** as this is in plain text you may need to maximise the size of this window to make sense of the tabbing i've used) Basic Structure Start Page (neither homepage) links to: Election '98--these first 2 are really just highlighted links which can Vote No Campaign--which can be found else where in the site Members' Pages Email Lists Media Releases About Neither General Information Contact Information Site Map Links to other sites Members' Page links to: Members links to alphabetical list of members' pages Regional Groups links to alphabetical list of regional groups' pages Issue Groups links to issue groups' pages in chronological order Help with Members' Pages links to: How to create a web page How to get your page on the Neither site (and any other help doc's related to the members' pages) Email Lists links to: Neither public-list links to: Usage of the neither public-list Subscribe Unsubscribe Help with mailto: buttons Archive of the public list (any other lists we create, would probably use the same structure as public-list) Help using email lists links to: Using Reply All button to reply to list messages How to send email attachments How to send web links in email (and any other help information) Media Releases (this would be basically just a folder containing all the Neither media releases by issuesand date. Perhaps the most current release could be on the home page, with the links running down the left side of the page, kind of like the current election '98 page except better.) About Neither links to: History Legislation Election Campaigns links to: 1996 1998 Other Campaigns links to: Vote No Campaign **Note I'm not sure on how the sub-folders; history, legislation, 1996, 1998 and vote no campaign should be structured. General Information links to: ? Contact Information (as it stands? or add in regional group contact points?) Site Map (is sort of what this document is) Links to other sites (I think as per the page that David Kidd has done)
Technical Group
To all those technically minded, To help the state of the Neither site, web and email lists, a Neither technical group has been started. The group will have two main focuses, the first is to help answer technical questions regarding the site and how it should be functioning. The second is to come up with proposals for the design and implementation of services which will extend the functionality of the Neither site, ie. the email polling proposal (http://www.mail-archive.com/public-list@neither.org/msg00229.html) The technical discussion will take place on a separate email list, so that the technical postings don't get lost with everything else. Documents for the group will reside at http://www.neither.org/projects/technical there will be a couple of doc's there shortly.

RE: Herald article - Reith and Republic
[AA] There's an iteresting article in the Herald at http://www.smh.com.au/news/9902/04/national/national10.html about Reith's support for a directly elected President. The interesting part? This: The chairman of the Australian Republican Movement, Mr Malcolm Turnbull, played down the importance of the Reith opposition. "If Mr Reith feels we should move to an American system of Government, well he's entitled to express that view. But you have to face two facts: it's not on the ballot paper in November; secondly, it's highly improbable that it would ever be on the ballot paper." In light of continual surveys showing that we (as a whole) tend to support a President we elect ourselves, does this not show absolute contempt by the ARM for the people they pretend to represent? This is pretty much what can be expected from Turnbull's jingoistic flag-waving arguments so far, I guess, but why don't the other republican groups see it? [LM] that sounds like it's almost the opposite of the stories that the Age in Melb have been carrying for the last couple of weeks. I can't give the article or a web link to it. But the basic theme has been that arch conservatives are going to run a vote "yes" campaign. On the basis that the referendum when defeated will not bury the republic issue. But rather will be a rejection of the ARM's model and thus a more radical model will be insisted upon by the people. This I believe 'correctly' demonstrates that the ARM have their heads in the sand if they think that the Australian people have any interest in giving parliament even more power.

Can the list admin *please* make [EMAIL PROTECTED] a list which only subscribers can post to? We get all sorts of non-neither-related email coming through this list. Alister I believe that it is subscriber only, but the way it is setup is that non-subscribers who send a message to the list get automatically subscribed. But I only have vague recollection of setting the list up, so I'll check on it. Regards Luke This is the Neither public email list, open for the public and general discussion.
