Hey, in case you hadn't noticed, the linux-india.org site is slowly coming
back to its feet. Where're some statistics, followed by requests and
finally some dos and don'ts:
STATISTICS
==========
Users: We have 68 registered users now. I don't know who you are, but
thank you for registering and trying things out.
LUGs: We have 6 LUGs/GUGs/FSUGs/GLUGs registered. More entries welcome. The
LUG list is at:
http://linux-india.org/index.pl?iid=2198
TODOS
=====
1. Please learn how to use the portal. MetaDot is an extremely powerful
online portal, and you can do incredible things with it without once having
to (a) leave your browser or (b) have administrative rights on the site. You
can add all sorts of interesting stuff (RSS feeds, formatted HTML, JS,
FAQs, News items, forms, polls, etc.) to your own site, and you can have
multiple pages within your site.
1. If you're a LUG, please send me your entry.
If you don't already have a web site you can create an account and your
complete web site within your account on linux-india.org itself.
If you already have a site, please do create an account and at least a
single page in your account that summarises your LUG. Send me the account
information and I'll link your page to the main LUG page.
2. If you're a user, please create an account and populate your site. If you
feel your site is of general interest, please send me your user ID and I'll
be happy to link to your site from the Users' Pages section. Let's get some
content on!
3. If you're a well-wisher with 1/2 hour per day to spare, please handle one
or more of these sections:
News
Press Releases
Job Postings
Job Requests
Events
You will become the contact point for that section and you will have full
administrative rights within your section. More than one person can share
the load of handling one section -- it's group-based.
I'm currently handling the security section. However I'd be glad to hand
that over to someone else if anyone wants it. Another alternative would be
to hand it over to one of the Linux Security News RSS feeds.
4. Keep the feedback flowing in. Suggestions on how to improve the site,
useful new sections, etc. are welcome.
DOS AND DON'TS
==============
Please DO look at the site, figure out how to use the system and add
content.
Please DO NOT add content that is not Linux- or FLOSS-related. Of course,
you can add whatever interests you in your personal page (e.g. I have
received a request for a Tsunami Relief page), but try to stay at least
loosely on topic :)
Please DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT add any content that violates the
laws of India or any other country. CD images or activation keys of Winduhs
XP Home Edition are completely ruled out, as is pornographic material, links
to not-free-to-copy materials on the 'net, etc.
Please DO NOT send me feedback about how the site design sucks, how the
colour scheme looks ghastly, etc. If you are willing to add content, please
go ahead and do it. If you are only coming up with alternative suggestions
on portal systems to use, forget it -- I have done the best within the
constraints that are available to me and I'm not really interested in
looking at or evaluating 1000s of other portal systems. Each person has her
own favourite and I really can't keep up with the gazillions of portal
systems that are released each month.
Regards,
