A STARTUP VERSION OF THE NEW BULLETIN BOARD IS NOW RUNNING
Posted by EQF on January 30, 2011

At long last, with quite a bit of help from an experienced Perl programmer and Web site developer, the startup version of a new Perl language Internet Bulletin Board is now running.

This startup version was made operational at the present time so that all of the needed files and permissions etc. could get organized.

The board is actually working. But it is not possible for anyone to create a new account or post any messages there at the present as its internal permissions have been disabled.

The effort has to get started somewhere. And it is now officially started.

At this time I still do not have a copy of the bulletin board running on my PC. That process is a little complicated. However, that will probably be the next step.

It is my opinion that this bulletin board project is quite important. Researchers around the world are often frighteningly inefficient with their communications with one another. And this new series of bulletin boards is intended to help both professional and amateur researchers communicate and share information in more effective and efficient manners.

As I have said before, this particular bulletin board will not at first be a conversational type of board like the EarthWaves board. It will instead attempt to provide researchers with a resource where they can publish their data and reports for public view.
