Frontier-Webmaster Mailing List

This list has been createdfor the discussion of all things related to Frontier and the web. This includes using Frontier as a CGI scripting environment, for authoring web sites, as a server using TCPCMD, and so on.

List culture

This is a cross-platform list. We discuss issues related to Windows and Macintosh web development. Please be respectful of other people's platform choices.

This is not a place to debate, it's a problem solving list. Sometimes people need advice and help, that's cool, of course.

This is also an international list. For many, English is not their native language, yet that's the language we speak on this list.

Above all, the Frontier-webmaster list is a place of respect. Everyone who subscribes to this list is a real human being with a right to their opinion. No one is wrong, ever.

At all times give people the benefit of the doubt.

Think before posting to the list. It's a very powerful thing to be able to send a message to all these people, but few things are more irritating to open a message, scan thru several screens of citations, to find the only new idea is "I agree" or "thanks". You use up a lot of people's time with such messages, and delay the delivery of more content-rich messages.

Further, even if you have something to say, it may not be necessary to say it to the whole list. A personal message is appreciated if that's what's called for.

If you break one of these rules it is not OK to send a message to the list apologizing. Just move on, assume people forgive you.

Thanks

We appreciate the work of Kevin Chval in originally setting up and moderating this list. We thank Stanford for originally hosting it. As Kevin has left Stanford this list needed a new home, and we are happy to take it on.
