Re: [Explorer-devel] Galaxy Explorer Web Pages

The master copy of the main Explorer pages lives on my home PC and I upload it 
once in a while. Tthe next update is scheduled for this weekend, by the way - I see 
that the Academy data is there (thanks, Frank).

I would prefer to retain the editorial oversight over the main project pages. I hope 
that my overconservative attitude doesn't frighten off anybody who'd like to 
comment on them.

Just tell me what you find necessary to change or, better still, write up what you 
consider missing, and I'll be glad to fit the stuff into the framework at the earliest 
possible moment.

Most sorely missing is a full edition of the Galaxy Explorer rules. Unfortunately, I 
don't have time for such a vast re-edit. Volunteers?

We do have a reference to the developer mailing at the bottom of the introduction 
page, and I'm sure to have embedded some links elsewhere. You're right - this 
and also the Tools subpage have to be changed. I'll do this during the pending 
update.

Right. I plan to add a page describing the international trade extension as well, 
and perhaps a couple of links - if not outright copies - of the current specs for the 
technically minded visitors.

Best regards.

P.S. I'm going to address your ealier mail regarding "?" controvency later today.
