  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) Ya, it was pretty quick. Kind of like a thunderclap. :) It was 10% kneejerk and 90% "Oh my god, look what has happened, as warned. X and Y and Z (people) were right all along!" (I think JoshuaD was the first person to point out the potential (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) Just a thought: Todd, I don't know how LUGNET codewise is implemented, but I assume you have an user-database somewhere (to validate posting-priveleges and to store subscribed mailinglists etc.) At our company I implemented our Intranet, it's (...)

  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) Todd, How open are you towards receiving coding help from the community? I feel that I'd be less useful in helping develop policy, but I can do quite a bit in implementation. Is LUGNET modular enough to allow many hands in the code? Cheers, - (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) It really isn't, no. But from time to time there might be things which are encapsulatable enough to be done independently and worked in afterwards. The FTX-to-HTML compiler, for example, is fairly encapsulated -- except for the transclusion (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) Just occurred to me earlier today - someone said it's too bad you can't view links like <set:8880> in the newsreader - then I thought, why can't we put a filter between incoming messages and the news DB to make it possible? basically move the (...)

  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) It needs to be a late-binding thing. The conversion from <set:8880> to <A HREF="/pause/search/...80&gt;</A> in the web interface happens at on-the-fly only at display-time. If you have a highly configurable newsreader (like something (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) oh, I've no problem - just thought it'd be easier for less configurable newsreaders... I just set CTRL-ALT-P to take whatever's in the clipboard, and pop up two windows for me - text info (name, etc.) and an XV windows with the picture... the (...)

  Re: Cleaning up the main homepage
 
(...) XV Rules! I do like the GIMP but for some things there is absolutely no substitute for XV. The color editor and visual browser functionality is unmatched. I even wrote some of my own filters for XV for cleaning up mars images. Someone else (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  quoted-printable encoding
 
(...) Just thought of something... One thing missing which would be 100% encapsulatable would be a filter to fix up icky encodings like "quoted-printable" (which cause stuff like =F6 and =20 to appear all over the place) into regular non-encoded (...)
