Hello
Gang,
? I spent some
time this week and tonite working on the site.? I apologize for the time
it's taking me.? I got some documentation online that I found in the
salvaged files.? This is really interesting stuff and you might peek at
it.? I'm working on the boat pics...... and then I'll tackle the
forums.
?
Synopsis:
- Encountered
technical and capability issues with hosting at godaddy.com.? Moved site to
in-house servers to remove issues and make it easier to
edit/maintain.
- Spent some time
digging through the files I received from Ken.? Starting to sort
them.
- Removed Frontpage
related structural content that is no longer needed.
- Identified and
sorted technical documents into a quasi-library.
- Created a "specs"
menu and put technical stuff online.? Includes rigging, sail plans, sail
trim, owners manual, review, and polar sail diagrams.? Polars are a bonus
and suggest the boat can hit 7 knots.? Gives very explicit guidance on heel
angles.? Takes some staring at to get the hang of reading
them.
?
Planned
path:
- Sort boat pictures
into Interior, Hulls, and Misc.? Create web-galleries for each.? Goal
is to share the photography we have.
- Begin to rebuild
owner registry tool.? UGH!? Plan to allow a "boat pic" by each
owner.?
- Research
forums.? Most stuff wants to hijack the site and I just want a simple forum
without a content management system.? Suggestions
welcome.
?
?
If you have engine
documentation and forward it I will add it to the library for others.? I
also plan to post the centerboard documentation that I have.?
:)
?
Thanks again for
your patience and I apologize that it isn't more alluring.?
?
Oh btw, the previous
site forums are lost from what I understand.? If someone wants to dig
through wayback.org you may be able to recover some of the content.? Also,
digging in google's cache might return some of the content also.? Sooner is
better than later.? Just search for Tartan27owners.com and then click
"cached" to see the cached content.? If you do manage to abscond something
please put it in an email and send it to me.
