Re: Status

Actually you don't really need any rights to do this.

Anyway, I have setup and admin folder in /usr/local/www/www/admin
(http://wwwdevel.postgresql.org/admin/). In there is a .htaccess file
which shouldn't need to be touched. There is also a password file
(/usr/local/www/portal.htpasswd) which contains the passwords. I have
added myself for now, but anyone in the www group can add an account for
themselves using something like:

% htpasswd /usr/local/www/portal.htpasswd <username>

Thats just what I mean

So can anyone make this for me

This will be needed for the admin of news and events for the
wwwdevel.postgresql.org

For the pgAdmin site (on the other server), I use a
simple .htaccess system for controlling access to the admin pages. It's
just a file (.htaccess) that lives in a directory and tells apache to
grant access to users in the given password file. The password file is
setup by an apache utility called htpasswd.

It's very simple, but does the job without requiring any
special code.

Let me know if I should set it up - I guess the people
who might approve items would be (based on the fact that we already make
decisions on what goes on the various sites):

Vince Vielhaber
Justin Clift

Maybe I'm to silly but I don't know exactly what
you mean

How do you check the users?

Per apache or per application

.htaccess and htpasswd are apache things but
they can be use with mod_auth

please bring light to my dark place :-)

Not yet, do you want me to create one,
or are you happy with .htaccess and htpasswd?

Jobs site???

Yep. jobs.postgresql.org

A place for people to be able to know
what PostgreSQL related jobs are
around, therefore encouraging community
growth by increasing the
employment opportunities for PostgreSQL
skilled people. :)

Maybe I can help with this to get this
things out faster

If you want to do so, that would be
great. Robert may have ideas on
this as well, but not sure.

Will it be also an php-site?

The old site started out that way, but
didn't get very far.

If we're going to re-start completely,
our options are flexible.

:-)

The gborg does look good to me

I will place the advocacy link behind
"What Is"

Cool.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,
