"We need a website"

Right. The web design forum here needs a website, for posting all sorts of advice, links, news etc. A "community" website. It should be interactive and fully display the best of our skills. So:

Coding - Me, cjh and ajh. Basically anyone who can.

Site design and layout - Reaper and Tyla. You guys work together on it. Give me a final layout as a Fireworks file and I'll take it from there

Content - Andy/Bob, and everyone else here

We need some webspace, I'll get some at Freedom2Surf once their servers come back online. They're a very good server for what we want to do. If anyone else wants to help out, that's great.

Any more suggestions would be welcome.

Hey guys,



Nice work you're doing, if you want to delegate any jobs to me I'd be happy to help you out. I can vaguely do HTML and Perl etc, and can help out with shells/ftp access and hosting off my broadband connection :)



See luke.ac6.org for some blatant advertising..



Y'can also usually find me idling on irc.



Regards,

Luke

No, but if I see you I'll get in touch. Maybe you should just post your problem here, I'm sure me or someone else from here can help you.

I've decided to make a little page with all the links and stuff but it is very basic at the moment.

I have MSN but I prefer Yahoo Messenger

Yahoo ID : stef_sharratt
MSN ID : [email protected]

That would be fantastic Gabbo, have you got me on MSN (Plain Old Andi [oV]?? If not add me: [email protected]

Then just send it to either me or rob over that. No rush though, the site might not be up for a while yet.

TBN I need help doing me site, could you turn MSN please :o)

How do you want them, shall I just do them in word?

Well, this would be an open-source website so any feature anyone wants/requests they can have, but this is between forum regulars anyway. If we had every Tom, Dick and Harry asking for features we'd be snowed under with coding.

On the subject of the message board: I propose an internal message board for contributors, but purely for MESSAGES only (eg "Gabbo, get your finger out of your behind and do those tutorials"). If anyone wants a question answered then they can post it here; this forum and the website will be closely intergrated. I'm also going to ask the webby if he can make a link appear in this forum notifying people of the website's existence. I KNOW this is possible, it's all a question of if he can be bothered!
