This
week was fairly busier than the past few, which is nice to see
activity picking up. IOA Alex Foley is working on a brand new
project called SquadFirst, a PHP-run template for creating TC
Squadron homepages, including a news system, roster, competitions
page, and more. The idea comes from VA Grail Soulchaser's previous
ASP version of a system like this. SquadFirst will hopefully be
a way to encourage more people to sign up for MinosNIC PHP+MySQL
hosting.

Turtle is currently working on making some changes to the backend
of the EHNet Login Service. These changes will make it much easier
to interact with client sites. Important: If you would
like to use the EHNet Login Service on your site, which will make
user authentication on your site much easier (plus it's one less
user/pass for people to remember) - please contact the IO or IOA
Turtle. This new version will be using XML to interact with the
login authentication system, with code I've provided parsing the
XML.

Jam3z and CyberGuy have the new design for the Shadow Academy
site, and are waiting on HM Mage for a few bits of information
before they can begin coding.
It's
been pointed out to me that the link for the EH Images Archive
doesn't work. I've emailed FA AbsoluteK about this, as he currently
hosts the IA, and hopefully he should be getting back to me shortly.
And
most importantly, our new IO project will be: the redesign
of the EH domain. This means that first we will need to conceive
a design. Due to the significance of this, we will need the best
and the brightest of web design and artistry in the EH. My CA,
AD Leeson, will be inquiring around the EH for talented artists
to participate, as he is heading the Graphics Design team of the
project. Once a layout is decided upon, I will be heading the
Web Design team for the implementation of the site. Hopefully
this will be completed as soon as possible. The Graphics Design
team already consists of AD Leeson, IOA Alex Foley and FA Priyum.
Also,
I've awarded to IOA Turtle Jerrar the Commendation of Excellence,
an award that was long overdue to him, for his superb work on
EHNet and MinosNIC. Congrats!
