In praise of things that work....

Dear all,

I was just contemplating this weekend about our choice of website technology (i.e. Helma’s recommendation of Daisy/Cocoon). After a few initial hiccups and reservations, I remember her saying, just give it a year and see how it goes. I am pleased to say I think it has after all been a great choice. It’s not the most exciting website in the world, but in terms of effort to keep it going, it has been absolutely minimal, and far less time-consuming than our previous situation. And it largely does what is needed. Quite a bit of this is due to Anthony’s reworking of Apache config, various directory configuration and ongoing maintenance as well. So - thanks to both of you for these efforts - we are reaping the benefits now - things are working smoothly and painlessly from my point of view at least. Secondly, thanks to Anthony for the mailman setup - that has also proved to be pretty painless for us to maintain over time, once he got the initial setup sorted out.

Of course, there is always more to do, but I’ll leave that for another email;-)

Great! Thanks for the praise.

I know there's more to do (frantically looking for the list I made), but
I do hope you guys can hold out for a few more months, while I'm working
to get my PhD thesis finished.

Bye, Helma
