SCN: Re: [webeditor_discussion] server side includes

[patrick fisher]

Hi Lee,

How are you doing? It's been quiet around here.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you: Do you think we need SSI for the pages? I don't think
so. I'm thinking in terms of the way the nav bar is set up. If we did do it, I think
we'd only need it for the home page!

Excomm meeting went fine. Meeting today with new volunteer who may become the IP
coordinator.

Thanks,
Patrick
