Elvin, would you like to spend your time working on the Slashdot BBS
alike on SLP? If your answer is yes, we will all benefit from it but
if it is a no then SLP will have think of other strategies as we all
have to present a LINUX PORTAL to Compaq and THEN they will say, "Wow!
SLP is worth our sponsor! They are proving that they could handle a
huge LINUX PORTAL and the information and news they are providing is
rock solid -- World Class!".

Those reviews are there because we want the Linux community to visit
our site and bookmark it for their daily newsfeeds. That will help us
to grow internationally. Don't you think so guys? The Internet is
borderless! We have to contribute as much as possible. Red Dawn is
taking care of the design and I have to comment that he is bloody good
on that.
Eugene is working on some PHP3 and programming stuffs and I know he is
very capable too. I on the other end juggle my profession to meet
sponsors and market SLP to them and wrote articles or simple HOWTOs to
make our site interesting. Without all those articles how do we keep
visitors coming? Raymond is working on the whole structure of SLP and
doing reviews as and when he could and without us all he is helpless!
We are all a team, remember that. None of us are supervising the other
and we all work and contribute to SLP as a team. If we keep on
squabbling amongst ourselves, nothing gets done.
I know you are young and energetic Elvin and I know that you have alot
of things in your head and I also know that you want to execute them
all but what we need now is to build a portal that will have respect
by the Linux community and we have to prioritise what we do. We
execute which is the most critical functions of the portal and we work
on the less important ones later once the nitty-gritty stuff is
settled.
You care very capable and I look-up to you as a Mr. Know-How of Linux.
If you could share your thoughts with us and start prioritising all
that we need to do, I personally think that the portal will be ready
by end of this year.
SLC is coming soon and we will all be working our butts off. As such
let's start working on this. I am a very handicapped person as I know
nothing about programming. As much as I tried to help I can't code and
it makes me feel very helpless.
I just hope that we can work as a team, execute our plans as intended
and share the workload. The faster the portal is built the sooner we
get our server(s) and bandwidth that we have all been dreaming about.
I am sorry if this email sounds crude or rude but I just want all of
us to work as a team and not as an individual.
