X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5a (X11; I; SunOS 4.1.3 sun4c) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: news-answers-request@MIT.EDU Subject: Re: FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about CGI Programming (attn: Emily Havens) References: <9609052237.AA09122@portnoy.MIT.EDU> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thank you for your reply. I propose to start posting immediately, as I believe that in a group with such high turnover, the most important thing for the FAQ is to be visible on RTFM and the mirror sites. However, my feeling is that "weekly" is too often, so I propose to reduce it to "twice monthly", with a "now+20days" expires header. I have updated the auxiliary header line, and set crontab to the 6th and 21st of each month. I am using my own posting software, which both generates and posts the FAQ. I believe I have the headers right, but I apologise in advance if there's any problem, as I have updated it since generating the document previously mailed to you (the previous version was a hack not capable of running under 'cron'). Regards, Nick Kew.
