Hi David!
Finally got a chance to read through this and it seems clear enough. Just
the following points:
1) Presumably any CCN URL will work here, yes? In other words if we wished
to highlight for a period of time some new or revised portion of a site,
or whatever, then we could do this through this URL. For instance, we
might want to write up a shpiel about recent exciting changes in the IP
area and have the link leade there.
2) Can you change the edit permissions for /csuite/info/Policy/messages/ip
so that it is group writeable?
Access Permissions
Owner: read, write, search
Group: read, search
World: read, search
I tried to edit the file and couldn't. ;-> When I attempt to change the
file permissions myself I get the following:
Probable failure to chmod 0775 /csuite/info/Policy/messages/ip due to
system error.
In any event, I think this is very exciting!
As soon as I can edit the file, my intention is to start a weekly rotation
of sites through here. I will also solicit IP's to tell us about recent
changes/additions/improvements, to their sites so that we can use this as
a springboard for featuring them.
Thanks again for all your hard work in getting this operational!
