+Developers' Notes about Web Pages
+---------------------------------
+
+NEW: server hacks needed to serve these pages, giving nice urls
+
+ PHP3 module included
+ .html treated as application
+
+ Mime magic configured:
+
+LoadModule mime_magic_module modules/mod_mime_magic.so
+AddModule mod_mime_magic.c
+MimeMagicFile /etc/httpd/conf/magic
+
+to recognize files beginning <?php, by
+ adding this to /etc/httpd/conf/magic:
+
+0 string <?php application/x-httpd-php3
+
+Then add these links:
+
+ news -> index.html
+ doc -> index.html
+
+etc.
+
+***************
+
+Notes about php:
+
+Some functions I've written
+
+ <?php hlink("html file","text","status message")?>
+
+NB: no space after text so you must write
+
+ <?php ... ?> blah
+
+to get a space. Don't put "blah" onto a new line, space will
+be lost!
+
+
+*************
+
+Tell Thomas (& other folk?) to update his home page links to Proof General.
+[Probably okay: Thomas links to image in home directory, but we'll
+ keep that as a copy of images/ProofGeneral.jpg]
+
+*************
+
+Suggestions for improving web pages after Rod reading them:
+
+ - slideshow rather than single screen shot
+ - separate feature list
+ - explain what a proof script is and what script management buys you
