Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Giant circuit / botpic database site - an alternative




Hi all. After reading of this gigantic website ressource system, i had an
idea. I'm no expert at html programming but more of a novice so it may not
be possible to do this ; Using the skeleton idea, someone good at html
could make a basic, tree-structured website without _anything_ in it but
the java 'engine'. This engine would then generate(???) a complete listing
for each main categories/sub-categories using but a small .html file on
each and everyone participating's site. this file should not be available
to public, but only used as a marker of sort. the marker would containt a
categorized structure, with a date-created/last-updated flag.

Of course, this implies that someone(s) would have to build such a
skeleton-site and add the links to everyone's web-marker, but then
everything would be done automaticaly. Is this feasible? Any and all
comments are welcome.
