I have proof-of-concept of the mailing list archive at:
	http://shay.ecn.purdue.edu/~jacoby/PLUG/list

I'm about to begin porting the archive software to expert. There are
issues
to be addressed on that, so don't expect it until December 10.

We have software to collect the logos for a Logo contest, but we don't
have
a means to decide how we're going to do it. We could do it one of 3
ways:
	1) Recruit a committee to judge
	2) Add voting to the deal, similar to Slashdot's survey's
	3) Have someone (Minga?) say "This is coolest. I like that one."

Comments?

And because (to my knowledge) I can't password check off of the PH
system
on expert (if in fact I can, mail me with details at
jacoby@ecn.purdue.edu), 
I don't see that I can have an even vaguely secure system for the skills
list
and virtual library without requiring passwording. Therefore, I'll
implement
it on an ECN machine where I can do it. URL available when page is
available.
