        Actually, I've got almost everything set up. (I was hoping to surprise the
list.) I found a PHP script that is intended for setting up pen-pal
connections, but it seems like it could be easily expanded for our purposes.
The only thing that is delaying it is a.) I'm still trying to figure out how
to make the necessary adjustments to the script and the MySQL database and
b.) the weekend isn't here yet. The beauty of the PHP script is that once I
get it working, no one needs to maintain it. If you want to add your bio and
picture, you just create a new login and send in your information; everything
is added automagically.
        I'm also working on transforming the old FAQ (which isn't really a FAQ) into
a Knowledge Base, which people could also contribute to and have everything
updated automatically. Whether this will be in wiki form or not, I haven't
yet decided. But again, the virtue is that it would be maintenance free.
Laziness is a virtue! :)
        If anyone knows PHP and/or MySQL, pipe up, please. I've got a couple
questions that I'd like answered.
