[Encore] Holiday Greetings! Holiday projects?

[Kevin Jepson]

I'll second those wishes!

Plus, while you're hanging around doing nothing :-)

Why not extract some of your more interesting objects and bundle them up for
me to post at the Barn.

I'm also interested in "How To" documents , tricks, tips and procedures that
people have found useful in their EnCore systems.

I hope your Holidays are happy ones for you and your families!

Ciao
KJ

Hi Everyone,

I want to send all of you good karma for the holidays and the new 
year. It has been a good year for enCore since we have a new version 
to play with.

Like me, you may perhaps have a bit more time on your hands over the 
holidays, so I wanted to suggest some possible enCore related 
projects that some of you might be interested in pursuing.  Please 
feel free to add to this list:

a) Is it possible (and can someone figure out how to make it 
possible) to install v5 into a professionally hosted space via Cpanel? I am
happy to let anyone who may want to try attempt with a webhosted 
space either I have or the consortium has.  If we can successfully 
host enCore in sites like this, that means individuals for $50 a year 
can host their own enCore environments without depending upon their 
unresponsive local IT department.

b) Set of CSS templates for different object descriptions
As you might have noticed in v5, the easy ability to change the 
appearance of objects has changed. All appearances are manipulated 
via css code.  Now Trond and Daniel may think css is easy, but for 
most of us css is not so easy.  I was thinking if anyone were a css 
guru that we might come up with a number of pre-made css codes for 
objects.  I guess they would be sort of like "skins" we could 
choose.  The trick then would be to make this code available from 
within the program, but I think if we do some work with the 
single-source documentation that we can get these preset appearances 
to appear and be easily selectable.

c) Blog?
We might, just, might even create a number of "blog" looking "skins" 
and create a special blog object.  Perhaps it could be built from the 
Generic Note as a new generic. I'm not sure if we can set up other 
blog features like links and rss, but it might be interesting to see 
if this is possible.

d) Are we happy with the installation instructions?
Do we have clear instructions (AND any needed scripts) for backing up 
an enCore installation?  Instructions for restoring a backup copy?

Other ideas?
