****** message to minivend-users from "Eran Binyamin Zeitoun" <eran_zeitoun@karmail.com> ******
Well... I think we might end with a nice helping site for everyone...
minivend.net is free (need mike premission) , mvdocs is ok too...
I think that besides the docs we can offer windows / unix support
for installtion and whatever in mind... (support in German/English/Hebrew
or any other needed language...). Offer for download all CPAN modules
needed to make it work and all the rest...
Also i didnt mentioned before, but the site should be free no matter
what services will be offered there.... that my condition to the donation.
but before we are running on... mike should approve from his side
that its ok doing such site...
Mike?
Bye Bye & Best Wishes,
Eran Binyamin Zeitoun.

Eran, Chris (and all interested parties)- WOW! this
is a great start! I would like to use Linux if
possible. I am most familiar with MV under the
"unicies" (unixes?), - that is if I get to help out!
I think Mike should have the final say on the domain
name, but maybe we could throw out some obvious
suggestions like "mvdocs.org", "minivenddocs.org" etc.
The .com, .net, and .org are available for these two.
Anyways, lets throw a few names around and let Mike
decide then we can take the discussion to direct
e-mail.
I'll be out of pocket for a few days (going to San
Francisco for the ACS meeting - WooHoo!). But I'll
try to get on one of the public network stations at
the meeting.
Lets keep the ball rolling!
Dave
