Index of Subjects (cc Chris and DLP as well, but you'll get at least two apiece anyway!) Mike et al--what about flagging the "NS'Political Parties" link on the Govt and Ptx section as a source of info on the election? That would be easy to put in an MOTD. The campaign links are already added to the 3 parties' regular sites, which are posted as that one link on Govt and Ptx. Dunno if we (ok, you) can find a link to a site w/in govt for where to check rules and make sure you're on the voters' list (Chief Electoral Officer)...but I will know next week (see below!). If so, it would round off a useful service to voters. I'm not thinking about non-election-related links like HRM's here; though I take your point about a need to update the works, it would be nice to have this timely bit up soonliest. Full disclosure :) Starting next week I"ll be doing some work with CBC's election website and once it's up to speed a bit more I plan to let ISP's around Hfx know they're welcome to link to it. Whether you use it or not is a discussion from which I hereby remove myself...its usefulness and text-friendliness are up to you folks to assess. (And no, I had nothing to do w/ the headline that mangles "steelworkers" w/ misplaced apostrophes!) cheers Sue ============================================================================= Sue Newhook suenew@chebucto.ns.ca Visit Chebucto Community Net in Halifax http://www.chebucto.ns.ca ============================================================================= On Sat, 26 Jun 1999, Mike Cormier wrote: > All; > a motd sounds great, here's a list of what we have and what is actually > active under the Government and Politics areas. > > The following sites are hosted 100% by the Chebucto community net. > Nova Scotia NDP Caucus > INDUSTRY CANADA (has a small site titled "Making the Connection: Your > Business and the Internet") > HRM Solid Waste Services (Currently looking for an editor) > HRM (Metro) Transit 2 > > Please note that Solid Waste Services & Transit 2 are "child" sites of "parent" > web sites on HRM's server. however Transit 2 (which i look after) has quickly > became the "parent" of the site on HRM's server. the Industry Canada site is a > small one and the Nova Scotia NDP Caucus site is 100% Chebucto, however it does > have a large link to www.robertchisholm.net, a web server run somewhere in MTT's > network.
