[PaQSO] Re: PAQSO Web Pages Major Change

[mjc5@psu.edu]

	In the near future, the Web pages for the PAQSO party will be 
undergoing a Major Change. I suggest that anyone needing the entry 
form get one now.


	The web pages grew up over time, and as often happens, they 
get overly complicated and not all that easy to navigate.

	The software links are on the rules page, multiple links on 
different pages in different areas abound. Not that there is 
necessarily anything *wrong*, but it could be easier to navigate. 
Just little stuff like that.

	The web pages will be taken down, then they will be replaced 
with new ones.

	At the start, we will post the preliminary scores as they 
come in. Then after Chuck finishes the scoring the final scores will 
be posted.

	Pay attention here. The scores will be posted in two forms:

	Excel format

	PDF format

	I had given a lot of thought to this, and concluded that we 
just had too darn many different formats on the pages. Although I 
don't anticipate as many corrections this year as last, every change 
last year precipitated a real domino effect.

	I assume that everyone knows about PDF's, but if anyone does 
not, they are a viewing and printing application, and a free reader 
can be downloaded from Adobe.

	The new pages should have a nice streamlined nature, and 
navigation should be easy.
