(j3.2006) New J3 web site

[Bill Long]

Hmm.  Nicely organized.  And the password setting procedure seemed to work smoothly.  Very promising. 

A couple of synchronization issues:

1) The current J3 site has papers 18-102, 103, 105, 106, and 107 got m215, which do not appear in the new test  site.   I guess this raises a more immediate question - which site should be used for paper submissions for m215?  At least until they are synced, the new site paper upload should be blocked to avoid duplicate paper numbers. 

2) In the historical papers section, I looked up 12-283.txt  (m201) and see that the ?date? is missing.  And most of them have unknown ?status?.  Is this expected for historical papers?

Cheers,
Bill

Rather than simply copy the existing site, which is full of softlinks and needs much handholding, I am creating a new, database-driven site (currently at https://test.j3-fortran.org) with features that should make things easier for members.

I have created accounts for most J3 members, those who come to meetings on at least a semi-regular basis. If you're not on this list, let me know and I'll gladly add you.
