Note: Sorry if you've received this message from
another mailing list already.
Dear friends,
First of all, for those of you who don't know me yet,
my site is built as a starting point for S/390 (z/OS,
OS/390, MVS, VSE, VM) system-programmers, application
programmers and operators on the Internet.
I'm really proud to announce you that my site is now
in the process of a complete change :
Starting this week, a new version of the site is in
production; this - I'm sure - will greatly improve
your interest in the site.
This new version of the site temporarily has a
slightly different url : http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/
The greatest benefits of this new site will now be :
- Web Links are now managed using a dedicated
application, Web_Links
(http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/modules.php?name=Web_Links).
- People will really have users' features :
registrated users are able to send and receive private
messages to other users, create and publish journals
and news for other people...
Please register now here :
http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user
This is important, as many features are only fully
available to registered user.
- Forums
(http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/modules.php?name=Forums)
will now allow you to create and take part to
mainframe-related discussion groups.
You've never been able to find a forum about a certain
matter ? You would like to have a place to discuss
with the other member of your user group ? You own a
web site where you can only host static pages and
would like to add some interactivity ?
Just come and discuss about it here :
http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=3
- Cherry on the cake, I've even installed a real time
Chat called SPChat , which I invite you to test (as
you can see on the main SPChat page, you have to allow
pop-up windows for this site in order to be able to
use the chat).
Now you have a place to organize online events for
your user group... or for this mailing list (why not
?). Also note that although you can create dynamic
rooms, I can create permanent rooms if you like, which
might eventually be password protected.
Meet here :
http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/modules.php?name=SPChat
I hope you will appreciate this new site as I do.
How about the migration of existing links ?
An application has been written that filled the
required sql database based on the content of the old
static site.
How about the old static site ?
I've also written an application that generates the
static site based on the sql database, so I'll keep
the old site updated.
As the new site is already in production, you should
become familiar with it as soon as possible. It is
quite clear that users of the old site will
progressively be forced to use the new version of the
site as I will be more and more confident in PHPNuke
(the system on which it is based).
Please let me know what you think about it; I
appreciate the feedback.
If you really want to please me, come and give me your
feedback in the General discussion Forum of the site
at
http://phpnuke.loriaux.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=1
Also remember that I'm always looking for SPONSORS to
improve things; so do not hesitate to contact me if
you think my site is valuable. The next project would
be free hosting and online office for mainframers.
