I've decided that we'll use initially XML to store the contributions of the
people. The first thing we have to do is a CGI Perl script wich gets all
the
data from an HTML form and converts it to XML.
The basic header should contain:
-Author's name
-Author's email
-Topic of the article
-Date of last modification
I know I'm missing a lot... but those are the most important.
That will be the only method allowed to send articles, at least by now.
Once we have the contribution on our server, we need to see what are we
going
to do with that.... I'm not so sure about using MySQL... (for that, we can
use something like PHP Nuke!). I think that the whole thing can be
mantained
using Perl scripts for adding articles, searching, converting, making
releases, etc.
Believe me, this model will let us start fast and, if in the future we
decide
to switch to another system like db it'll be easy to do.
If anyone has good experience on CGI Perl scripts and wants to work on
this,
please contact me.
