Yep, ASP is for NT/Windows 2000 servers. Yes, I know a bit of PHP and even Perl (not as well as ASP, but what the hell). Don't have any of my own code to leverage, but there are a LOT of PHP and Perl resources on the net, where we can find some source code to start from, or just drop in as-is. Is it too far off topic to start a discussion of the basic wants/needs of the group? Please recognize - I can't promise that I'll deliver all (or any!) of what's discussed, but it might make sense to have *some* discussion before we head off into the weeds. To steer this a bit, I wonder which of the following features might be important to LD'ers: 1) administrator defined "areas" for files 2) the ability for users to rank and/or comment on files 3) download counter statistics 4) user control over modification/deletion of files they've uploaded to the site 5) searching for files by various criteria (new, size, description, etc) 6) sorting and other fancy display techniques 7) other stuff? Or, are LD'ers content to start with a simple, single-area, non-sorted, non-searchable list? I'm concerned that if we do that, and it grows unmanagable, we'll want to port to something fancy like the stuff listed above. And for you, Kim: I assume you want a very low maintenance system from the administrator's persepctive? Any general statement on what kind of administrative tasks are reasonable for you to take care of? Do you want to connect the subscription to the Loopers-Delight list to the ability to upload to the site? If so, does the LD list maintain a file of subscribed email addresses on the server, that the file management interface can get to for authentication? This is where it might get hairy... so I'll ask... is it reasonable to disconnect these two things, and let non-subscribers register for file management separately? Maybe you want to take some or all of this offline, so I'll stop there. Any input on the LD'ers questions is appreciated, either on or off list.
