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?
