Re: Idea for a new index page - Mailing list pgsql-www

Hi Michael,

well, I don't think I may give you shell access to the VM, and it does not make sense to add this sampe-test-pages to
CVS,so maybe for the beginning it might be the easiest way to send this to my email adress (webmaster@letzplay.de) and
Iwill upload it to the webspace... 

PS: If you want to reply to the list, just click "Reply to all" in your email program and keep the To: and CC: fields
asthey are, they will do fine :) 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andreas Grabmüller
