Caleb and guys,
All thanks to Caleb that we have the forum working.
Please advice us whether we need to pay anyone money.
The next step is to plan the kind of forums and users
policies that go with it. Let me make a few recommendations,
you can choose to fire it down, and please do feel free
to add on to my list.
1) Forget about the registrations, I do not want others to have
a barrier to entry to our forum. If they choose to post as
anonymous, let them do so. Caleb, is there any way to do it?
2) I suggest that we set some automatic mechanism to post
mails to lug-list and slugnet to be automatically posted to
one of the forum (or 2). That forum will act as an archive for
all the mails to slugnet and lug-list. It will also act as a showcase
for people who are not on those lists. Who wants to practise
their scripting and sendmail capabilities? give you a hint, use
.forward and pipe (yes, that is the word) the mail to a script
which will post to the forum. When that script is up, the system
does its own posting.
3) We will create 3 folders first. 1 for general discussion, technical
support, 1 for archiving slugnet's emails, 1 for archiving lug-list's
emails. Any additional folders (eg FreeSWAN, Security) can be
created on demand and need.
That is all for now. Anyway, thanks Caleb, that is good work which
you have done there.
Can someone write the Singapore Linux Portal's pages into a
CDROM? I guess I will be buying a CDR soon.
