05/01/2007: "State of the Archive"

I have finished the main part of the database. I have about 200 stories that need to be categorized to be added. The rest need to be uploaded to the server in their new format. It's too much for my little 26K internet connection, so I'll go up to the college tomorrow and jack in there. I didn't get there today.

I'll probably start contacting those of you who volunteered to help categorize those final stories, and to work on validating the stories (getting them to show up on the archive). This weekend, I will also put up a contact form specifically for author's to have their accounts released to them and to receive passwords so that they can log-in. Please do not attempt to log-in or start a new account before then.

Also, the following weekend, (Sat 12 May and Sun 13 May 2007), I will be available all weekend via e-mail and Yahoo! Messenger Chat to help anyone who wants to learn how to navigate and use the new archive format. (FAQ's will be polished and made available after the weekend for everyone else.)

I've also posted the link for the annual donations drive on the main page of the site, above the news, and below the navigation images.
