Put a demo page somewhere on your own webspace using static HTML from the current front page (logged in and logged out) with your CSS (3?) changes and I'll take a look. I'm under no illusions about my lack of artistic flair (as evidenced by my recent request for artwork - anyone interested, at all?) As ever, I try to maintain strict W3C compliance - apart from the Wiki pages where user data can break strict syntax - so if some errors have crept in, point me to the page and validator output. >> I've no problems revising parts of >> the site to clarify things but we've discussed your ideas for >> websites before (off list) and we have very different views.

The P in our case is a mix of PHP and Perl. The wiki declares it's own heritage and doesn't customise the wiki engine itself, just the parameters. However, changing to a different Wiki engine is NOT a simple task because the current Wiki procedural framework and data schema is woven into the PHP and Perl of the rest of the site to make things like Forthcoming Events work. We also use GnuPG encryption. An interface to mailman is pending. (Alex?) Don't forget, Matt, ours is a quiet website and despite all the changes over the years, nothing has changed that. The group operates principally on the mailing list. IRC is usually quiet, website traffic isn't large and meetings are always difficult given the coverage area of the group. As such, the website doesn't need to have a wizzo engine. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
