I would also be willing to intern, though my coding background is so Redmond-based it's not funny.

Well, Chow better not hurry, since the only solid offer of up to speed PHP/MySQL assistance I've had has been from Burrell's DH. There's been intern discussion, and Gud's volunteered to help as his schedule allows.

Ha! See, I was right. Though I do think Gar has volunteered to help too.

Yeah , but the problem is I do short term contracts right now. So I can't be reliable. I'm an unreliable source of occasional help for the future, though I haven't helped at present.

One thing though - the Zine thing would not cause a hurge labor increase. I mean, there is no coding involved, just plain Vanilla HTML. And I don't think we need a full fledge editor - more an accept/reject person - who could be a volunteer with zero coding skills.

But of course that does not eliminate the larger issue. One thing someone (Evil Jimi?) said in a joking tone, was that the developers might sell the code. Obviously that would have to wait until a future version. (OK, not obviously - but I suspect it would be better). But why not. ita and others just put a year of their lives into developing this. If they can find buyers, why shouldn't they get paid for their labor?

I was wondering, how much more visible to others would having content make us. I mean, would it be the same as now, or do you think other parts of the Buffy fandom would be more likely to look us up if they're searching for content, and is that a good or bad thing.

It's true -- who is the content FOR? Us? We have plenty of content, right here, in every post. Last time this got tossed around, we were going to take a middle road of site-promotion. Adding content seems to up that ante.

I'm kind of against a push to add content. I'll articulate it when I've figured out how to do so, but for the moment, let me just say spreading things too thin isn't a good notion.

Even without articulation, I can see the point. I don't think anyone can keep up on all the posts now.

Now, adding resources whose primary users are us? I'm all for that (cf episode database). But content seems like a deliberate expansion, one whose ramifications and requirements need to be carefully considered.

Here's something that I didn't know would happen: if I'm on a computer that isn't my own - - like today when I'm at the public library - - it still remembers me at this terminal. . . should that be happening?

The problem occurs when the computer kicks me off - - if I don't log-out of the Phoenix Board before hand, it's remembering me.

So does this mean I have to set my preferences for logging me out each time?
