I'm going to need to build a web-interfaced database for our advocacy work, and I'd like your help, suggestions and pointers to links to getting it done. I've built it before in Perl, but I'd like to do it in C++ because I want everything we do to be BSD-license-clean. PostgreSQL is my database of choice for the same reason. What we're going to need is a database interface for input and a calendar-output, for starters. My Perl code has input and table display, but I never did much record-locking beyond rudimentary lockouts, although that's probably good enough because we can queue input requests to an admin interface; that'll be close enough. In general, I'm going to need a lot of Web support from you all. I have been asked to find people to take "ownership" of sections of the advocacy pages on the FreeBSD.org and FreeBSDMall.com websites. We're going to be adding a lot of material: calendars, web forms for resource requests, project organizers, 'prototypes' for seminars and user group projects, selling points and marketing strategies for FreeBSD, and incentive opportunities for participation. We want this site to become a showcase for how FreeBSD can support a major logistics operation for businesses and non-profits alike. My philosophy is "code it once and let the computer do the work forever after!" TIA! -- Donald Wilde "Bringing the Internet to everyone!"
