[OZAPRS] SEQLD Recommendations

Tue Sep 18 18:52:01 EST 2007

I was simply suggesting it as a way of relieving the burden on the
current maintainers, if they didn't have time to keep the various
states' sites updated..  If there's a better way to do it, that's cool,
I just thought that a wiki (heck, it might just be one page per state!)
might be the way to allow each state to have discussions on what
settings should be used, etc, and allow management by more than one
person.

Cheers,

Damien

What do you need to say on this wiki ?

How to work out to run your station cause your too dumb to work it out
for
yourself ?

It would seem to be the most logical solution to the problems of keeping
information up to date. What is your solution?
