He submits the written or translated article proof reader reads it and fixes it with proper images/links etc editor approves the article designer collects approved article and adds in the file for magazine designer releases the pdf file proof reader checks the file editor approves it release manager releases it. I would think, a simple bug tracker like mantisbt would just suffice, initially. Author could create a bug and attach his document. From there on, the team can jump in and do everything you have mentioned over that particular bug/ticket. Everyone works independently on their workstations and use the bug tracker as platform for integrating their work with the e-magazine. -- 0 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Unless you are dealing with an ancient compiler, answer is yes. stdbool.h defines standard macros that takes care of compatibility issues too in case you are using old code that defines 'bool' differently.

It should be pretty much the same as removing your VPS and creating a new one.
