BD: Re: SCN: "Free-Nets" in Los Angeles Times

[patrick]

Janos,

Don't worry. Some good things are happening at SCN and more is
happening now than has happened in SCN's history.

I saw the new site redesign concepts last night when I met with a web
designer. They look pretty incredible and will be posted soon for
public viewing.

Also, a new web server went up with few hitches and the backend is
being cleaned up thanks to JJ and Martin who have done a great deal
of work. They deserves lots of accolades.

New services are coming up for SCN user websites: Stock CGIs and PHP
is available.

A new email program to rival other web mail programs is coming into
being.

I am hoping that if things be cleaned up enough, that regular FTP
service be established for users so they can FTP to their directories
easily. Free webspace with no ads will drive more traffic (eyeballs)
and users to SCN.
