Has the Cobb/LaMarche campaign and the US Green Party considered cooperative efforts with Nader/Camejo (IND), Michael Badnarik (LIB), and Michael Peroutka (CON) to break the Commission on Presidential Debates' stranglehold on the debate process?
Do you think that coordinated press conferences and press releases from all four campaigns regarding the issues raised by Open Debates and the Citizens' Debate Commission would have a beneficial long-term effect?
I'll tell you why it's important to me (and why I contributed Pudge's story in the first place). I am working to set up a Slashdot-site for use by the San Francisco Bay Area watershed and open space community. This will be the discussion side of an on-line GIS system to track environmental restoration and creek protection projects.
In addition, I will be setting up an archive to capture printed/digital publications, volunteer monitoring data, and project photographs. (Kinda like a SunSite, but not quite.) Anyone know anything about HDF/XML?
After becoming a devoted Slashdot reader over the past 3 years since OS X 10.0, I wouldn't think of using anything else to run the site.
I'm looking for a host that would be willing to house the site and help me get it configured, but I need to mirror the functionality from home. I'm brand new to Apache, mySQL, and perl, but am trying to learn fast. Eventually, I would like to see this whole project housed on an XServe co-located someplace else, but to start I want to run this all from my iMac. (Why the hell not, I say? Steve Jobs is no saint, but Apple seems to be doing a damn fine job brdiging the gap between the casual computer user and everything that is the command line.)
Suggestions are welcome here, or via email. Thanks!
PS: I may be straight, but I ain't narrow. Thank you to everyone on these lists that provides valid feedback (instead of recycled off-topic crap.)
