Hey Bram, Any thoughts about modernizing the whole thing with a fresh CMS? I think it would be easier to maintain, have built-in spam filters, and it would be easier to have multiple people do the work. Plus it would look more attractive. I don't think it would take much effort to redo the whole thing in, say, drupal. Some of the data could be moved from its current form to CMS via a script, and other might have to be manually copied, which would be a bummer, but this might be a good time to purge old/irrelevant stuff. It's not clear to me how much info there is.
Just a thought. I'm not volunteering to do all the work, but I am pretty familiar with drupal and happy to get things started, depending on my schedule (right now it's a bit uncertain). bjorn On Apr 4, 2012, at 11:17 AM, Thomas Young wrote: > lol wow > > -----Original Message----- > From: music-dsp-boun...@music.columbia.edu > [mailto:music-dsp-boun...@music.columbia.edu] On Behalf Of Bram de Jong > Sent: 04 April 2012 16:15 > To: A discussion list for music-related DSP > Subject: Re: [music-dsp] maintaining musicdsp.org > > On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 5:11 PM, Thomas Young <thomas.yo...@rebellion.co.uk> > wrote: >> Maybe submissions should be added to a moderation queue rather than added >> directly (i.e. they need to be manually whitelisted).
