Hi, I thought I would share some initial thoughts about the CD-ROM. I think that we should build it from the future TLUG FTP repository. This makes the FTP repository structure very important. We could do stuff like I18N L10N | ---------------- | | | editor www drawing Or stuff like that. Obviously, how we structure it will be pretty difficult to decide. My idea is to follow the Linux Software Map idea and have a TLUG software map so that yudit-1.0.tar.gz would have a file like yudit-1.0.tlug-map associated with it. We could then process the maps through some scripts to extract the description and produce an index. I would also like to propose use of *.html files as part of the FTP archive, similar to sunsite. However, I think it would be neat to make the full multimedia event and have an awesome graphic interface within a browser. O' Reilly's CD-ROM books are a great example of how to build a nice interface, IMHO. We could produce a nice software and documentation catalog of the stuff on the CD-ROM / FTP archive. If people want to pursue this approach, the planning of the standardization and structure of the files and maps would be really important. BTW, I did an nslookup and tlug.org is taken by Toronto Linux Users group. tlug.or.jp is open. However, JPNIC is more expensive. I also think that you have to be a member of JPNIC to register and route the domain (TWICS is a member, but...). Also, this is the kicker, JPNIC requires a fair amount of documentation that proves that the *.or.jp organization is really a non-profit organization. I have three ideas, we could go for Tokyo-lug.org, or we could go for the registration of TLUG as a real organization. Or, we can use monolith. Check our http://www.ml.org This would be a free subdomain of ml.org like tlug.ml.org (which is open according to nslookup). -- Craig --- craig@example.com --------------------------------------------------------------- Next TLUG Nomikai: 11 March Wed 1998 Tengu TokyoEkiMae 19:30 Chuo-ku, Kyobashi 1-1-6, EchiZenYa Bld.
