Hi folks

If you look at page 240 of the April issue of PC Plus you'll see
something that should improve the Sheflug web site quite a bit.

This is a message board app which can go onto a web site. I think
that this would go down well on our own web site. I've got all of
the software to write it. I just need to sit here and work out how
to do it. If I can get it working then Ralphs letter can go in one
corner of the message board and we can get in touch with each other
through it as well as the listbot.

I think it's going to take me about a month to get this together so
don't lean on me too much please. This is assuming that my PC
doesn't crash at any time. Any help would be appreciated.

Another idea I've had is to produce a Sheflug newsletter which can be sent
out to people who subscribe to the list. Ideally I'd like to see 50 - 200
people on the Sheflug list to get it to work in the way that it should. I
can write this myself, a first edition could be produced with my Deskjet
600. I could see myself producing this every 2 - 3 months.

Finally, the listbot itself. It's all a bit new just now. The
listbot system has only been in use a few days in America and it's
oversubscribed heavily. If you are having problems with it then send me
some e-mail. If you do send e-mail it's better if you send it to the
list. We aren't a secret organisation, PGP isn't central to our existence
therefore the list is there for you to use. I should point out that the
listbot tech support is so busy that they can't cope with the e-mail that
they are receiving so if we do hit a snag I'll try and sort it out but I
can't promise too much.

Hope this helps :-)
