Actually, your first link about CSS Filters... might help me on the problem
that I addressed before about CSS Filters not being supported by Mozilla or
Netscape... thank you in advance!

RE: [WSG] A few links...

2004-01-08 Thread Peter Firminger
We are thinking about this, the problem is that many people have sigs with
their url in them and other people post links to sites with their questions.
If we automate the link stripping, we'll get those too.

I suggest (actually Russ did) we make sure we post the links in the
resources area so that they are a permanent categorised record, rather than
to the list, and I'll write a routine to grab all the posted resource links
from the past week and send them to the list on Sunday (or is Friday a
better day?) to save having to look there all the time.

Sound OK?

A silent but nonetheless very interested follower of this list, I've 
been meaning to ask this for a while now... are these links compiled 
somewhere on a web page or archive ? It would be great to be able to 
consult this ever-growing resource every now and then, like it's now 
possible with the CSS-Vault web site, not just by selecting every one of 
Russ' messages that contain few links in the title. ;)

All list emails are accessible in the archives on the WSG website if you 
login. The archives can be found on the right side in the navigation. 
That's why you're not supposed to send out superfluous emails. Like this 
one.. ...   ... .. doh. Sorry Russ ;)

Re: [WSG] A few links...

2004-01-07 Thread russ weakley
Denis, you are right. While the archive section is partially helpful, any
useful link posted to WSG should also be added to our resources section.
Slackness on my part:
http://webstandardsgroup.org/resources/

BTW, anyone can add to the resources section (especially to the built by
members section), and anyone can post Web Standards-related links to the
group. This includes web standards articles, CSS stuff, html/xhtml,
semantics, accessibility etc.

If these sort of posts were to generate too much traffic (if heaps of people
started posting useful links), we could ask that they be put directly into
the resources section only, and we can post out a weekly automated resources
recap.

Vaska, thanks for the offer but a bit far to travel for a free beer  :)
Russ
