[dissent-tech] list / attachments / onto site

[Space Bunny]

This list was moved to a new server at end of last week as you may see 
from revised footer on each list email. Although the list admin was 
informed I did not find out till I tried the link on the webpage at 
Dissent gathering, showing someone how to contact us, where I panicked. 
I have now updated those links to reflect change. Please update 
elsewhere where needed. The email address is redirecting.

I gained list admin access myself and I think it is now set up to in 
addition to the stripping attachment before going to list to forward 
messages with the attachments to list owner ie me and steve. Steve if 
you don't want to get these then change this setting back or take 
yourself of admin and let me know.

As I said at Bradford Dissent Network meeting anyone who came to the 
gathering especially from working groups should sign up on website as 
user  and let us know and after verifying you are involved we will up 
your privileges on the site so you can add docs to doc manager and 
images to gallery as well as text articles. (not for some things or need 
to re enter login details on admin page
http://www.dissent.org.uk/administrator/  as well as login module in 
left hand column). This means people are not reliant on us to get stuff 
onto site and saves up having to look all over for it. Do not share 
accounts as you will be held responsible for all actions done under that 
login.

We will also still be up for putting stuff on site for people not able 
to deal with doing it direct. Red Fox has said he will do this for some 
one with some artwork arranged at meeting. Keir if you want to just 
email your pdf of callouts etc. you can if you want or try with doc 
manager on the site. I have heard people are sometimes having problems 
with passwords not being sent out when they sign up. I was aware of an 
itermitent problem where server can't look up host names for short 
periods of time. But also mail accounts can bounce it back  if full or 
mistyped emails. If you still can recover password at: 
http://dissent.org.uk/index.php?option=com_registration&task=lostPassword
then get in touch from email address you are registered with and your 
login name (or desired login name) and ask us to reset password for you.

We in this web working group will still manage the main presentation of 
the website subject to feedback. We should be bold but bear in mine 
defuse nature of network. We should pay attention to what people are 
presented with on front page. The overall balance of the website. If 
anyone wants to do icons to replace one that came default eg links page 
and for categories setup then put yourself forward. Maybe something 
cartoonie. I am not sure if they have to be same square size as at 
moment I can check.

I set template chooser module on the site and I may work on a new 
template (g1) , it is pretty raw at moment missing many of css classes 
need, but something to build on.

btw here is atable of some of hooks to dynamic elements that one puts in 
a template for the mambo site:

Any movement of developing this by me will be quite slow as I am spread 
very thinly between projects.

I can often be found via Internet Relay Chat

irc://irc.indymedia.org #uk

via web interface with java applet:

Also I gave anyone at meeting who wanted them more of my contact details 
but these should not be spread around without consulting me.

cheers,
