Subject: Re: Seeking PLUG new website input
I would suggest 2 features/functions:

1) The ability to post articles with author information and a link back to their site.
2) A page or pages to register your business, complete with a link back to your site. I suggest you display their URL, Business Name, Address, City (must be local) , state, zip code, and a Description (limited to 200 characters).

Both would benefit everyone. I would be willing to help in these 2 areas using PHP/MySql.

As announced at the East Side Meeting, we have started a project to
improve PLUG's online infrastructure. We are starting with the website.
Several people on the plug-webdev email list are actively participating
directly in this effort.

The first short phase is to repair the broken aspects of the current
site. You may have noticed the calendar has finally been replaced. We
also have efforts proceeding to restore the Multimedia and Downloads
sections of the site. We will then have it back to previous
functionality to use while the new site is implemented.

We now need your input and participation!

What do you want the PLUG website to have? What features do you like in
the current site and what would you add? What would you do different?
Everything is game: major features, layout, colors, etc.

Please keep it as a generic feature discussion as opposed to specific
content engines. For example, you might suggest "online forums" but not
"Use Super Duper Forum Maker" We are looking for feature descriptions
which will translate to requirements. We will then go hunting for the
content management system or pieces to fulfill the requirements.
Providing examples of sites with the feature or features you like is
very appropriate.

Just post your responses in this thread. If you'd like just lurk or
even join in the actual effort, pleased subscribe to the plug-webdev
