Wiki Site

Wiki Server Update

It may have escaped everyone's attention but this SoSLUG Wiki site is now running on Drupal 6 a significant web site upgrade.

This upgrade was not without it's problems, not least of which was the lack of drupal_wiki profile which still is only available for Drupal 5 and is core to the development of this site. Drupal Modules upgrades also proved problematic especially the views module.

Mail Subscriptions

SoSLUG Mailing List

For some time SoSLUG had a mailing list this was a general mailing platform and still is but our efforts to enable people to subscribe and unsubscribe where prohibited, well we have now sorted out our mail server problems and can give prospective members the opportunity to subscribe and unsubscribe to the list as they so choose.

Jean Demars is a trusted and valued student of Grahams if you can help him in anyway with this project or projects it will be much appreciated by all" Hello Derek, I am a student of Harwood at Goldsmiths and we met a few times between Southend and London. I sent you a flyer for the project I am developing a little while ago [http://www.freemob.eu].
