I think, if things don't work out with the man page coverage project I'm currently trying to wrangle, I may volunteer to be one of, if not the lead, of the web-side of things, as that is my 9-5 and what I have most experience with - namely, web development and deploying PHP-based web apps. I believe the CMSes that were looked at (Drupal et al) as options were all PHP/MySQL-based, which is right up my alley. I think once I settle down (I'm currently moving from Egypt to Malaysia, leaving on Wednesday at noon local time), I'll be able to give both of these projects far more time. ________________________________________________________________________ Basil Mohamed Gohar abu_hurayrah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.basilgohar.com
