Geeking : 5049

Sat, 27 Aug 2005 01:32:06 GMT

Ok, I promise I'm not trying to win the prize for the oldest thread resurrected

:)

But when we were at Brickfest a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that many of the

conversations that I was involved with were about code, and websites, and how to

make the two work better.  Now, I admit, I am a huge geek, but it did seem to

indicate there's a need for the AFOL webmaster to be able to talk to each other,

ask for advice, etc.

So what I'm proposing isn't anything as grand as a guild - just a mailing list,

where anyone can subscribe to, and talk about techie stuff.  SQL, perl, PHP,

Apache, TCP/IP sockets, caching, performance, and really - anything that we all

need to deal with.

The list is designed to be fairly focused though.  So while everyone can

subscribe and post, all members will be moderated at first.  To become

un-moderated, you just need to post an email saying which site you run, and a

little bit of what you do on it (think of it as an introduction).  Seeing that,

I will remove the moderation bit for you.

Moderated members could still post, of course, and I will approve anything

that's remotely on-topic for the list.  The "introduction" will just make things

easier (both on the posters and on me!).

So without any more rambles, here's the info:

  List name:  AFOL-WebDev

  To subscribe: http://mail.peeron.com/mailman/listinfo/afol-webdev

  To post: afol-webdev@peeron.com

  Archives: http://mail.peeron.com/pipermail/afol-webdev/

  AFOL-WebDev@peeron.com

Everyone is welcome to join!  Small sites, large sites, people who are only

thinking of starting a site - even if you just want to learn a little bit more

about web technology, I hope this list would be helpful!
