IF we were only going to track UG, yes, of course, just a flatfile text read-and-write. The idea is to create a database structure with many things stored in it, but to have consistent 'get' and put' functions over all. The idea is that a user in Timbuktu will fill out a web form from his local mirror, and the e-mail CGI will send that request back to the advo. server, which will update its DB and _generate_new_static_pages_ of the lists for you to mirror. -- Don Wilde "Bringing the Internet to everyone!"
