To ncsa-announce list:

I'm hoping there are some people on this list who might like to help
RTPnet (http://www.RTPnet.org/). We need additional experienced system 
administrators.

Copies to people who have volunteered. Future messages will only be to the
RTPnet list. If you are not on the list, send to listserv@unc.edu a
message containing

Many of you have asked how you can help RTPnet. I think we can now 
start installing software on the RTPnet machine. We need help 
selecting, installing, testing, and documenting software and establishing 
priorities. 

We need a wide range of skills, from experienced system administrators to 
less experienced people who are willing to test and document.

We've scheduled a meeting for Wednesday, June 18, 6:30 pm, Dreyfus 
Auditorium (thanks to Roger Austin). Directions to Dreyfus are included 
below.

I'd appreciate e-mail BEFORE the meeting (to judy_hallman@unc.edu). Please
send me a resume, if you have one. At least indicate what you would like
to do and your skills. 

Here's my wish list:

-- Local forums -- select and implement software to provide discussion 
   forums; messages that are posted immediately to the Web pages 

   (For info on what UNC-CH is using, see 
   http://www.unc.edu/courses/ssp/disforum.html and an example of use at
   http://www.unc.edu/campus/sigs/icc/whatsnew.htm#allBoards . Also see
   discussion of other software at 
   http://www.unc.edu/campus/aboutweb/walkers/mtgs/96oct18.html )

-- Allow page counters 

-- cgi script support; at least gform (see 
   http://www.unc.edu/campus/aboutweb/howto/cgi/gform.html)

-- Statistics -- select and implement software to report on 
   pages accessed and sites accessing us 

-- Listserv/listproc; current thinking of the Board is to use exploders

-- Select and implement search (indexing and retrieval) software 

-- Complete registration software (not needed until there are 
   public facilities for e-mail) 

-- What else?

To get to Dreyfus, take Davis Drive North from I-40 to Cornwallis Road.
Turn left on Cornwallis at the light. At the bottom of the hill, turn left
on Institute Drive. Take the second right into the parking lot for Dreyfus
laboratory. Go through the front door of the building, across the lobby,
and out the other side. The auditorium is straight ahead, in a separate 
building. Entrance doors are on the left and right.
