[Committee] website structure update

[maki]

Happy new year guys!

here's a mockup I've been working on: comments and suggestions welcome! 
also do feel free to take the ideas and code and run with them as I 
don't feel at all possessive about them (all open-source, copy-left)

NOTE: since we are using Lycos as a free host (for their sql 
implementation), there is advertising, which if it obscures the page, 
luckily disappears after a while. just click the link to open the page 
and go away to make a snack or something before coming back by which 
time the advert should have disappeared :p

more details of how this is implemented at 
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mackie3/#website

and it also tells you how to modify it (for example, you could leave 
comments!) but as of yesterday it's not completely straightforward, as 
you have to go to a "hidden page" 
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mackie3/#author:true , login (username: czcs 
password czcs) and reload with a particular page 
http://members.lycos.co.uk/mackie3/#author:true , make your changes and 
then hit the "Upload storeArea" button at the top of the page.

originally this was a modified version of my homepage, 
http://www.makiaea.org but I just managed to implement a new server-side 
implementation (both are available from the link in the paragraph above) 
on the free lycos test site, which is not possible on my free homepage 
host (google) but may be possible on zerocarbonnow.org . While my 
homepage is entirely based on single-files, this new mockup uses an sql 
database. The huge advantage is that you can edit and save with one 
click, the disadvantage is you need to set up the system to allow you to 
do this.

in any case this is not about replacing the current website but just 
some ideas i threw together about the structure of it, a mockup of where 
the categories go rather than what colors or logos it uses. this "web 
2.0" arrangement just makes it easier for me to do prototyping. Having 
said this, I haven't time to maintain a "traditional web 1.0" html site 
so this is what I use everyday as well.

so as i said at the beginning, please take it and run with it!

love, maki
