Re: Presentations from March 15 Hillgang meeting available for do wnload
To me, not at all important. To the site's sponsor, that's perhaps a very different matter. (Who, for the record, has been very good to me and hence this community.) I'll be thinking and talking about this whole topic with others for a while. In the meantime, to stave off the wolves at the front door (overly harsh imagery, I know, but it's what came to mind), I've put some of the more important items from the last month or so on the main page.

Re: Presentations from March 15 Hillgang meeting available for do wnload
I've brought this up a few times before in the list. I haven't had time to keep up with the mailing list traffic, so that has stagnated. The rest of the site is pretty well current, however. I'm still not sure what to do about all this. Others have recommended using some sort of content management system for the site. None of those run on z/VM-CMS so far as I'm aware, and that's where the site is hosted. I don't own the domain name, so I can't arbitrarily move the site to a different host. The domain name has gotten reasonably "famous" so I don't really want to use a different one. Moving all the old stuff off, and having a largely blank main page doesn't sound very attractive. Adding "last updated" tags to each link would be way too busy/cluttered, so I don't think I'll do that. I'm still considering what I'm going to do. I'll let the list know what it is.

This may be a dumb question, but everytime I look at linuxvm.org, I find that most of the stuff on the first page is from early 2003. That doesn't lead me to believe that this site is being maintained. I do have a refreshed page as the "Last updated on: Tuesday March 15, 2005" would lead me to believe that I do have a refreshed copy. Just a suggestion, perhaps you can move the "old" stuff to a historical area. The home page of a website should always appear to be current and have pointers to the useful information. I assume that the links on the left side of the page, point to current info, but you couldn't tell by the home page. Perhaps expanding the left column to include a "last updated date" field for each link.
