    Richard and XPL... we are all now the proud owners of

  Fantastic!

  Yes, thanks Mark!  It was good to wake up to your announcement!  
Excellent
work!  :-D




    I am getting my own dedicated box for all the projects
    and ideas I have or am involved in (Kurt's XPipes and
    so on), this is slated to arrive mid next week.


    [RAH] Cool!  What are you getting??  What are you going to run on 
it?
Have you decided yet?  Just curious!

    The SP is Bitshop.com and they have been "reliable"
    until now.  So, I would say give it at least 2 weeks
    before I can set that website up for you.  Until then
    get set up on VBXML.COM please.


  Righto. I'll schedule time this weekend, to assemble URLs for
  what I want there. I'll pass the info through to Michael, and
  we'll collaborate. Mike has a Geocities page that's crammed
  with stuff, he's solid on Web design.

  [RAH]   OK, and I'll get that compilation done;  the main idea 
being an
overview of issues discussed and where we are at; what's needed 
etc....  I
think we should have a poll on our mission statement too.

    It will have online discussion stuff (for visitors)
    and a links database thingy and so on.  I can even
    archive this discussion onto the website if you like.

  I endorse ALL this. Subject to checking from the other active 
members,
  I think we'd  be crazy to pass up any of it.

  [RAH] I concur on this.  There isn't any reason not too, that I can 
think
of.

    On the other hand, you may not want me to prebuild
    anything... after all, perhapd XPLatypus should be
    built from the ground up by using XPL?


  That's for later.

  [RAH] On one hand that makes sense.  On the other hand, that means 
it'll
be a long time coming.  If anyone has a very good reason for wanting 
to keep
XPLatypus "pure" XPL from the start, then speak up.  I think we can 
just
take down whatever is in place and put up the XPL as we go.  But like 
I
said, if anyone has a reason....

    In the meantime, move into VBXML.COM and I will move
    you over later and provide the new login and password
    etc...  NOTE:  All pages on VBXML.COM have a header
    and a footer, so when you upload your .asp files
    (which is IDENTICAL to an .htm file) make sure the
    share central header and footer are in it!  Then when
    you give the signal (the secret whistle from the movie
    will do) I will add XPL!

    [RAH] Gotcha!
    P.S. I thought xplalidocious (as in
    super-cala-fraja-listic-xplalidocious) was a good
    name... but it was taken.  Alas!


    [RAH] Hey!  That would have been good too ... but no mascot! :-)

    This is excellent momentum!  I hope every one has a
    great time.  I am building some other websites and
    ideas and I hope in the long run to create an
    environment in which XPL and other projects can find a
    synergystic home.

    Cheers,
    Mark.


  Three hearty ones!

  [RAH] Couldn't agree more, thanks Mark!
