Note that's exactly what I have tried to do with the gallery, for an
educator public (which is not very well targeted in the runrev
website). That's a php script behind the gallery (<http://
revolution.lexicall.org/stacks_education.php?lastadded=added%20any%
20time>). The only thing you have to do is to upload a metadata file,
a gif file and eventually a stack and the job is done. That's a PHP
script I wrote myself. Anybody (revolution included) is free to use
it. Other scripts exist that propose similar galleries. They are not
that difficult to find or to adapt. It takes me a minute to manage it
when anybody send me a new stack (and most of the minute is spent
opening the stack, to check everything is fine).
When on holiday, I discovered minor rendering problems on internet
explorer 6.0 PC. Damn internet explorer 6.0 PC which doesn't comply
to the current standards! I will soon buy a cheap laptop pc or some
virtual pc application and fix that.
Speaking about virutal pc type of application, has anybody on this
list used "guest pc"? That's a cheap alternative to virtual PC. I had
used "blue Label", their OS9 version and had been very happy with it,
then they toke ages to propose an OSX version.
