Test the site

[John Burton]

Hello All

Thanks for quick replies. Some responses as follows.

>I hate frames!  Lose them if at all possible.
>Piet Lincoln

>I like the frames design, but frame-less is tolerable
>Thomas H. Slone

Sorry, but we have to have them! It's the only way to have easy access to
indexes. Unless you'd prefer cascading menus in Java, of course (any
volunteers?).

>The main frame goes right off my screen so I have to scroll.
>Bryant Allen

My mistake, it wasn't the frame but a table I put in there (tables don't
wrap). I have fixed it now.

>I found the website straight forward enough, although it may be difficult
to anticipate future functions you might >want to build in. Certainly a
means to facilitate comments and interchange on particular entries such as a
bulletin >board might be useful.
>George E.B. Morren

Good point George, but I don't have the technology, nor call on a faculty
web programmer's time. Also, bulletin boards are not all that feasible for
PNG residents with the awful bandwidth and expensive connection time. Email
is more realistic I feel - but I'd like to find a technology whereby a
email-only user can request pages and have them sent out automatically as
email attachments. (Any ideas?)

>Post some real entries.

>Bryant Allen

This is the most important part, but with your help, I will get the few
entries I have put up more realistic BEFORE we unleash it on a wider
audience (who will criticise mercilessly if not). Please do alert PNG
students etc you may know to join up.

I'll get back to you in a few days.
