New MFD Maintainer Required

The time has come for me to try to hand over to somebody else.

Increasing work committments mean that I no longer have time

to maintain this digest as well as I should.

<p>

I am therefore looking for a volunteer to take over!

The system is entirely web-based, so you should have a fast

connection to the web (i.e. not really via a modem!).

All that is required is to weed out unsuitable messages,

categorise the rest and generally keep an eye on the system.

This is ideally done once every day or 2 to keep the system in trim

(something I've been unable to do lately).

<p>

A knowledge of medium format is preferred!

<p>

If you feel you have the time and knowledge to do this please enail me direct to L.S.Davis@exeter.ac.uk justifying how it would be wonderful

for MFD readers for you to take on the job!

<p>

I will endeavour to tidy up the system in time for any new

maintainer.

<p>

Thanks!

A new MFD maintainer is still required - deathly hush and all that.

<p>

Please be aware that you do NOT need to run MFD on your site!

All this is kindly done by Phil Greenspun at his photo.net web site.

<p>

As maintainer you simply *access* the MFD pages VIA the web just like

any reader except you have certain extra rights via password protection.

<p>

These include the power to edit messages, delete messages, categorise

messages and to maintain the list of email subscribers.

<p>

The web pages themselves are all done automatically by Phil's wonderful software. The email digests are also assembled automatically by Phil's software.

<p>

All that the maintainer need to do is to 'login' to the web site

every day or two, tidy up any rogue or duplicate messages,

do a bit of categorising and maybe maintain the list of email alerts.

<p>

A reasonable knowledge of MF is required but just as important is

an interest in keeping this digest alive and well by regular maintenance.

<p>

Anybody interested?

<p>

Thanks.
