OK folks, this is not an official press release, but I thought you all would like to know that there is yet another Zope site up an running out on the net. http://www.netaid.org Netaid is a new, long-term effort to use the unique networking capabilities of the Internet to promote development and alleviate extreme poverty across the world. The Netaid Foundation serves as a global exchange point to link people to successful agents and agencies of change. Netaid's mission is to use the powers of the Internet to help the millions of men, women, and children who live on the edge of survival. Our goal is to connect all those who share these common values to promote the useful exchange of ideas, challenges, resources, and success stories. Netaid works to: Facilitate community building, direct communications, and coordination among the millions of people dedicated to these aims. Act as a one-stop resource for people interested in making a commitment to change. Build new on-line tools to promote exchanges of ideas and success stories. Help our developing country partners get access to and learn to utilize new technologies. Issue periodic calls to action on items of urgency and focus attention on what works. The site is currently a hybrid between the old, completely static content and the new, almost entirely dynamic suite of applications built on top of Zope. Currently, the registration functionality, the entire 'What Works' section of the site, and the 'Online Volunteering' module are built in Zope. Check back frequently to see much more functionality that will be added over the coming months. In addition to Zope, the Netaid.org website is built on an almost entirely open source platform. The servers are running a heavily modified RedHat 6.1 distribution, all data is stored in a MySQL database, and the static webservers are all Apache. --sam -- -------------------------- Sam Gendler CTO, Impossible, Inc. 1222 State St. Suite 250 Santa Barbara, CA. 93101 p: 805-560-0508 f: 805-560-0608 c: 805-689-1191 e: sgendler@impossible.com
