There was some question as to installing software to access google drive earlier (didn't seem desirable, needed). Shared access to a website wouldn't need that extra software. It is, however, probably not required. ECF has its own backup procedures, I would guess.

TomCatt. I have absolutely no problem with you using cloud based stuff for your own personal use. Nor for having a virtual spreadsheet app and storage in the cloud for sorting your stuff. I don't even care if 1 person was using virtual everything... since it's hard to differentiate between cloud drive+apps and local hard drive + local software on someone's computer in that case.

Now we're getting into shared stuff, and information sharing. The list itself doesn't contain much information (username, date-time for party, theme, thread-starter) and all of it I could get just reading public threads even without an account on ECF. However, I would rather keep it close to home and on ECF if you gave me a choice between the two options.

This is just my personal opinion and :2c:

I think the main advantages of google docs, or other solutions are concurrency control, versioning and in some cases simultaneous editing (a form of concurancy control... of sorts).

I want to see what our options are for list posting in PVT and posting hot links to it using j0ker's solution.

EDIT: Also note that if you decide to delete "your" website for any reason, we'd be back to square 1. Not say'n that you would........

I see. So it's a copy.... always. Maybe joker has a solution. Form copies to a closed thread somewhere, or pulls it up out of a database, or whatever. IDK. Let's ask......

Oh, j0ker.............

How do we have links to the list in a locked forum?

The question I have for the group is... is that absolutely required, or a "nice to have"? If we publish the list twice a day in the PVT......is that sufficient? I know it's a big thread, but anyone should still be able to run across the list by doing some...even light... monitoring of it if they are interested.

Just a note for your development effort consideration.

The crew is discussing solutions for having a link to the "party list" in their signatures. How will that work going forward? They'd want it so that users visiting the thread would click on the link (like in whiskey's sig, for example) and they could view the current list of themes and such.

:). That's why I set it up on a free web host, if I do set something up there, I'd pass the login info on to the 'committee', pass on all the pertinent files and prolly even do a write-up of setting the system up from scratch. But, of course, that's an IF.

Although such an exercise would be good practice

In our company, Atty...we are totally computer based reports/Appraisal Files...but we always have a back-up on each one aside those that are kept on main computer...just in case something happens to the main data base...just a smart thing to do.

Always good whis.

I assume that ECF already has backup procedures. I'd hope, off site storage and even disaster recovery SITE solutions too (provided by the host).
