Sorry your t-27.com newsletter got held up. I'm not sure why Yahoo held it as spam. I just noticed it after the holiday weekend (another reason to have an alternate site/repository of information). I have not tried wayback.org to see if any of the old forum data is available but my last attempts to do so with another archive facility proved fruitless as only the main pages were archived. Keep up the good work. Caleb #328 Odalisque, 1967 -----Original Message-----
From: brian@... To: T27Owners@... Sent: Wed, 23 May 2007 12:32 am Subject: [T27Owners] T-27.com update 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. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
