http://mypbem.com/rdeep/NRanger/NRangerLog.html is what I've been 
using for the RDeep game. I should have one like this for the /Mae 
Lee/ and the /BlueRain/...*however* the downside of a static page 
like that is that I have to edit it offline then upload the changes 
to the server.

It would certainly be easier if I could update the page with new 
entries each time there was a change...ie. a blog type application 
that allowed me to add "comments" online. I just haven't had time to 
try to *write* something like that...or look for a simple blogging 
app that I could install. Does anyone have a suggestion for 
something simple, already created, and free that I could put out the 
webserver?

You know, the Phoenyx already has
a wiki.  I haven't created webs for most of the games only because most haven't
used them, but it's the work of thirty seconds.

The Celandra game's the poster child for extreme wiki use:

Heck, that's probably as easy as anything else. Be a good place for  
notes, comms, etc. Easier than uploading it...just edit it in place.

I was planning on doing a php/database thing on my web server  
(dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu) basically to teach myself php...but  
this already exists, and won't be dependent on my rather intermittent  
spare time.

Done.

We'll be upgrading
from TWiki eventually (TWiki is, to put it charitably, less than well-written)
but the transition should be seamless.

Thanks, Karen!  It looks good. Now to figure out how to use it. :)

BTW, would *you* be interested in playing in the Akus game?

It looks like Lessa and her daughter are going to be with the ship 
for the long haul, and if you were interested you could take over 
Lessa.  In case you haven't been keeping up, Lessa is a journalist 
(worked for the Mark News Network) who was framed for the murder of 
her ex-husband (and her daughter was kidnapped) to keep her from 
breaking a story about Zeristu infiltration into the Spacers Guild 
*and* the Mark government. Lessa appealed to Woof, and the /Mae Lee/ 
crew for help, and they did...got her notes to Mark Internal 
Security, snuck her off Mark and rescued her daughter. She's 
grateful, probably feels beholden to the crew, and really can't go 
home until all of this is cleared up back there, so she's going to 
be travelling with them (under an assumed name) for the next few 
months...and in this game that could be years. :)

Just a minor nit...  He used the word 'could'.  'Would' would be more 
appropriate!  Even if we were to pick up the pace!

C'mon, join us!

Good question.
 Right now, I'm trying very hard to get the Phoenyx software upgraded, and
I have my own game (_Gavilan_, a Traveller/Firefly/Cherryh mashup free trader
campaign, discussed on the Phoenyx' GAMERS group:  http://www.phoenyx.net/gamers/2005/12
and so forth) on hold until I get it written.  (And if anybody's an HTML/CSS
designer, or a Perl coder, or an SQL wizard, there's lots I could delegate.)

 
Still, I'll give it some thought.

Heh.  When I'm not using my Bloglines account, I'm silver@phoenyx.net...
or root@phoenyx.net, when I'm feeling all authoritative and stuff.  Which
is to say, since the Phoenyx just celebrated its twentieth(!) birthday last
month, I know *all* about the length of PBeM games... :}

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

That's always fun to realize that you've been a success for quite a few 
years.

Best regards,
