I think we're talking about a list of items that we keep rearranging. We're
not talking about messing with the items themselves.

Right, we're talking about a little introductory directory.
All the items remain here for anyone knowledgable and motivated
enough to use the 'browse' command.

That sounds better and I think we might have more people that way (who
want to lightly browse rather than puruse). This conference is pretty
big and having a quick guide of sorts would be helpful for new users.

So, is there a consenses that Scott should move ahead with this? We can
fine-tune it.

I went ahead and changed the login screen to put in a first cut
of the front-door directory. This is certainly not intended to be
permanent; probably we'll rotate the items being pointed to every
couple of weeks. Rereading this item after setting the
login screen, I see I overlooked most of your suggestions. :(
This is the first overhaul to the music conference login screen
since Mike McNally first created it in 1991.

Very cool. The index is a nice touch.
Is there some way to make those clickable links in backtalk? (or have you
done this already? - I'm on via telnet right now)

Should be possible. You can create a separate HTML entry page for Backtalk
users.

I defer to one of the other FW's the issue of the Backtalk login screen.
I don't have time to futz with it right now.

Very good idea, all. The last couple of times i joined music, i couldn't
remember the number of an item (somewhere in the 200's) I've been following.
It happened to be one of the ones listed on the login screen. Cool.

I don't believe I created it back in 1991 but perhaps my memory just
doesn't go that far back.

To refresh that aging memory, look at item #1 in the "oldmusic" conference.
I'm pretty sure I never set up that login screen, and I'm also pretty
sure that it was never changed before this week, except to add
fairwitnesses.

(suggestion for the intro screen: trim it to somewhere under 24[?]
lines. it's been catching my pager and throwing off my "join-and-read"
routine.)

Not true, Ken...you don't have to be the grexer from Florida with a silly
sense of humor.

(I've decided to stop reading/participating in the conference until
it's adjusted or stuck somewhere more meaningful [like the file that
only shows up when it's been changed; I forget the name]. I figure if
something like this in coop pissed me off, a lesser conference can do
the same.)

So much for the idea for boosting participation.
