I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

We had a power blink here this morning; my home network was offline. Anyone trying to reach the CVS box, I apologise. Things should be back to normal now. If not, please e-mail me at the profile address.

ita, I am out of con shadow but working hard. I'll send you mail when I come up for air.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

1) The board is being really, really slow, while other internet things don't seem to me. This could be just me, of course, but:

2) I tried going straight to read_new.php when I got here, but I got the

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been getting a bunch of "page not found" messages.

I just wanna say I've never gotten even a whiff of an error message. I think buffistas.org is perfect like an ita thing.

I've put jengod's suggestion from Bureaucracy (a page for the geographic mailing lists) onto the feature requests list, and I'm quoting what she said here because I think it's a BaBB matter- hope you don't mind, jengod.

organize the lists and give them their own page. New istas of various geographic persuasions don't know they exist. Maybe something like a list of the lists, with radio buttons next to 'em, and a subscribe/unsubscribe button at the bottom.

AM - what is next on the list in order of importance?

The top of the list, in order, until someone tells me otherwise:

  • CVS repository
  • Move search out of beta
  • Rearchitect code to use XML/XSLT
  • Shorten long URLs
  • Tag closer
  • Ability to label bookmarks
  • ENUF filter

* CVS repository

ita and Jon B. have access to the CVS repository; I'll be adding access for other developers just as soon as work stops being insane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay -- CVS repository is Karl's to do, and he's got that one in process. You have the list of dev people, Karl?

Search out of beta is me -- this weekend looks tight, but next weekend looks good.

XML/XSLT has been volunteered for (at least phase I, before the PHP needs writing) by Michele and Plei.

Shorten long URLs -- prelim code already written, must be integrated. By me.

Same with tag closer.

The other two are undibbsed.

if someone is not a coder and not planning on learning is there anything we can do to help?
