the existing FAQ mentions a CD for grabs page which does not exist. It also mentions a form to filled in - which also does not exist. I also find it very weird that in the year 2009 - 10 years into the so-called web2.0 revolution we are still being asked to fill in forms and are not allowed to directly interact with the site. Those of us who develop webapps would be jobless if we proposed such things to our customers. As promised in the LUG meet I have set up a site to fulfill these requirements and am yet to understand why this site is being given step-motherly treatment. The only thing lacking is openid login which should be up by next week. btw, the site has a cd for grabs page where any logged in user can add his contribution. And there is no worry about spammers - adequate protection against them has been put. In fact in the LUG meet I was asked to wait a day so that ilugc.in could also be pointed to this site - which is why I put it up on Tuesday instead of Monday. And to my surprise, my request for comments was replied by an announcement of ilugc.in is UP! As far as I can see, it does not fulfill any of the requirements expressed on the mailing list and the meeting - so can you spell out the reasons for this decision (if they are not top secret of course)? Maybe I sound a bit emotional, but I strongly feel that hard work for a cause should be met with constructive criticism - not a slap in the face. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
