    Hello Everyone,
            Well I guess we could say that the time spent on the
    anti-war.org site payed off. Unfortunately we got more people on the
    site spreading hate and destruction then we did people in opposition
    of war. The reason I am sending this out is because James, Jeff,
    and I have shifted focus back to dod.net and are hoping to bring it
    up to speed. There are a whole bunch of old ideas that we are going
    to toss around... The difference this time is that all three of us
    have a lot more time then we use to. Keep in mind that if your not
    interested in being on the list all you have to do is unsubscribe. I
    think that this is the place to discuss what we are going to do since
    it effects the collective. I am sure that some of you here could
    do without the extra mail traffic so just set up a filter and
    send these messages off. There are a few projects that we will
    all be working on so I am going to throw out one at a time so
    that we can finish it and move on. This is better then being
    overwhelmed by a million things to do all at once.

    PROJECT LISTING

    1: Revamping Website
            Well we have already begun this process so anyone interested
            in helping is more then welcome to. James has written almost
            the entire site in PHP and we are simply trying to update
            the content on the pages. Below is the list of things I
            know we should update. So lets take it one at a time
            work them out.

    a: Get the news section up and running. James this is all
    about you but any of us will help. Are you still working on
    this project? If not lets get all the hands on this we can. If
    there is something that will be easy to do feel free to delegate
    tasks out to us. If you have stopped development on this let us
    know.

    b: Change the about page to describe the collective better.
    Make sure to include a link for active members and what projects
    they are working on. Also make a link to the collective list
    archives. And put up the projects database that Oddity made.

    c: Change the altavista (av.com) search option on the side to
    google.

    d: Re-vamp the rates on the hosting section. This is
    important. Since the rates are wrong we will want to give
    people a better idea of what we really charge. To sum it up for
    simple hosting virtual or domain it is $60.00 and if you need us
    to register the domain for you then it is $95.00 for the year.

    e: Add a way to request and pay for additional space.
    $10.00 a year for an additional 50 megs.

    f: Format the webmail PHP to match dod.net better.
    https://secure.dod.net/webmail/. Then add the link into the
    e-mail page and the rest of the site so people can access
    webmail.

    g: Change the Thank you form that is loaded after sign up. This is
    HTML and should be PHP. Also change the links in the pages that send
    you through to the HTML page.

    h: Fix the links on the secure pages so that they load all content
    from a local host name rather then filez.dod.net.

    i: Add javascript for a valid phone number onto the sign up pages.
    This is so we have a way of contacting people.

    j: Put a link to the "choosing a good password" page next to the
    password location of the sign up form.

    This is all I can think of for now. It looks like a lot but it
    really isn't all that much. If you have more just add them to the
    e-mail and send it back to the collective. If you finish any of
    these send a note back to the collective. Should we schedule a time
    to sit down and do a lot of this?

    Chris
