I'd love to give it a try. Couple of starting points.
1. Conferences will not be a good source for the material. So we'll have to
find an alternative. We may have to compile this incrementally, slide by
slide. The slides/audio files can be created by the author, (who can be the
'guru'? Would you have the time to do it?) or I can have some one just read
from a script.
2. I am not sure what the SUN site uses at the server side. We can do ours
using mod_perl ofcourse unless something like it already exists. I like the
"last slide", "next slide" buttons to which we may be able to add "last
chapter#", "next chapter#" buttons to make the presentation more
interactive. With some help I would be willing to roll this out myself. My
web site is at Verio. So mod_perl won't be possible there, though I would
have loved to host the site there. If we can do it with CGI may be it can be
hosted there. The simplest way to put audio would have been with the
<bgsound> tag and .wav, or .au files. Unfortunately this works only for IE.
Don't know if Netscape v4.72 supports it yet. Any ideas here?
