Dear ECCO Member:

A test setup of ECCO online community is now operating at
http://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov:8080 . Please try it and send me your
suggestions.

It is based on OpenACS ( http://www.openacs.org ), which has a
comprehensive collection of cyber community tools. Currently I've only
customized and configured News, Forums, FAQs and personal web space.

In its current state, the site is configured with an open policy for
viewing, but closed one for posting. The access control can be changed
according to our needs.

Please first login with your email address and a passwd. You must enable
your browser to accept cookies. Your signup is persistent. Try to post
messages for News, Forums and FAQs. Try to create your own webpages.

In next step, I will make DODs work under this frame.

As I suggested in my previous message, we will need to host the site on
ECCO's frontend server, which should preferably be a machine physically
located at SIO or MIT (just to avoid redtapes at JPL).

P.S. The test site resides on an old pentium MMX 200MHz. So it is slow.
