At the very least, I think it would be a good idea to use a content management system for the website.
The front page could be blog-like, containing mostly news, updates, info, and releases. Then if someone has a personal blog entry that says something interesting about Sage, we can just link to it from the front page as a news story. This way everything would be archived, etc. -Bobby On Dec 8, 2007 6:59 PM, didier deshommes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 2007/12/8, William Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Hi, > > > > My brother suggests that a "Sage blog" be somehow created (see below).
