1. WWW: user gallery

   Maarten Boekhold <maartenb@dutepp2.et.tudelft.nl> — 1998-06-19T12:19:31Z

   Hi,
   
   I have send in a submission for the user gallery onthe web-site *two* 
   times now, one time to psql-submitpostgresql.org (what the anchor text on 
   the page says), and one time to pgsql@postgresql.org (which is what that 
   link is pointing to). Apperently no use, cos my site is still not listed :(
   
   I must say that I think that the link on the 'submit' page is very confusing.

   Its in the mailbox of ones to be added...I'm currently reformatting the
   page to try and make it "narrower", like a few ppl requested.  You still
   have to scroll horizontally a little bit, but alot less then before...
   
   I'm trying to get what is done converted over first, and then will add the
   other dozen or so entries online right after.  
   
   For anyone that *has* submitted already, could you go check your entry and
   fill in any blanks, if appropriate?

   Here's yet another suggestion: why not make the entire submission a form?
   You can simply use one of the standard CGIs that fills in a template with
   the form fields and sends it to the aformentioned mail address.
   
   Personally, once I saw that I have to start formatting an email according
   to some specification (which requires me to go back and forth from my email
   prog to Netscape to see what's next), I just gave up on the idea. A form is
   much easier to fill, and it's not the sort of CGI that will draw 10,000
   hits an hour... Just remember to make the ACTION a fully-qualified URL, so
   that the mirrors won't complain.

   Feel like creating it? :(  I hate making forms, but if someone is willing
   to do it, I'll gladly plug it in :)
