Re: [Bug-gnupedia] Architecture Questions

[Tom Chance]

On this note, it would be good to get some sort of
prototypes done for each system.
Now I'm a real Perl newbie, and Rob is just reading
mySQL stuff. We just know its advantages and general
workings, not its minutae setup and code, as yet lol.
So if anyone here knows sufficient Perl, DBI and CGI
stuff... come forward and maybe we could work on
getting a more detailed proposal for mine and Rob's
crackpot scheme!
