I've created a portal for PLUG (http://plug.acetechgroup.com) -
everyone
is welcome to use it - I hope you find it useful. The forum is

archives. Also - it would be great if the email list could somehow
automatically be posted to the forum - preserving the threads. I know
I
like getting the plug emails directly - but sometimes there are just
too
many and not enough time - so it would be nice to have that in the
forum -
I think. I don't expect this to replace the mailing list - but it
may be
useful for some of us who don't use text browsers and would like to
contribute. I just put a quick theme on it- please don't beat me up
over
it. If you want to make a theme for it - let me know.
Chris, I'm sure you put in a lot of effort, and I want to be sensitive
to that, so take as a preamble that I'm something of a luddite, or, at
least, reactionary, when it comes to web interfaces.
That said, I find it very...busy. I found it hard to see what's going
on right away, even after I have mozilla magnify it to 150% so I can
read it. (The font is eensy-weensy on my monitor. My preference would
be that you just let browsers display at whatever size their user has
requested.)
I'm afraid I don't follow what the advantage is over the current site.
On the positive side, I just (as I wrote this) found the mozilla
preference that allows me to specify a minimum font size. Woohoo, no
more tiny fonts again, ever! The page at least comes up readable now,
if still quite busy.
