Webmasters: Wanna help me? Native American GOTV effort
My BIL is trying to get a website up and running....

I'm the designated webmaster and I'm doing this for free, no cost - as long as we get 1 million Native American voters to vote Kerry's way.

Interested? Reply on this thread.

1. What does this entail?
I'm not technically a Native American according to the all-knowing government's rules. But I might be able to help in some way.

Just some fancy-schmancy work, including registration form (and I have NO idea on how to make it work right)

2. I can set you up with web hosting.
I have a dedicated server w/ plenty of bandwidth and space. It sounds like a good cause, I'd do it for free.

If you're interested...

6. May be able to help with the forms
What kind of backend do you have available? I assume you've got good ol' CGI, but do you have PHP or something similar? Do you have database access too, or do you just want the forms emailed directly to you?

8. You're rocking and/or rolling then...
It's dead easy to do a form in PHP, and have it write to a database (like MySQL-- I'm guessing that's what you have?). Also, the host probably has something called phpMyAdmin installed, which is a web front-end for MySQL. With this, you can do almost anything.

PM if you like and I can get you the code. All we'd need to do is set the db connection and set up a table to hold the responses.

:D
