Great. Care to elaborate on any that you'd like to see prioritized? Any
thoughts on implementation?

That should be no problem. I'm hosting everything myself at the moment, so
web space is not an issue. I had some problems earlier this week that
caused the site to fall off the face of the net that have been corrected.
I'm still waiting for GTE to upgrade the outgoing speed. I understand the
best connect speed to my site is currently around 8K/sec. It should go up
to 40K as soon as they upgrade it.

What are the various ways to download an entire site? I know FTP clients
(XDir on UNIX, cuteFTP on PC, Fetch, Transit, Anarchie on Mac) can tunnel
a directory and grab everything. I know there are various ways of using an
http-based program to do the same thing. Are there other options? Are
there other needs besides FTP and HTTP access?

Sounds great. I'd love to see that happen. I'll set up a form to easily
link or upload articles.

I'll get it going here in the next couple weeks. Projects call at the moment!

Thanks for the feedback.
