UPDATE, Sunday 2nd May

[a_reader2003]

Hm.. site got busy this week, here's what we seem to have done:

1. We are now up to 5000 posts either coded or allocated to someone. 
There are only about 7500 posts in the Yahoo club, so we are nearly 
out of there and into the main list. Butterbeers all round.

2. Some additions which have been made to the categories list:

Section 0 (rejects): 'illiterate posts' for the really unreadable
Section 1: Prophecy; Astrology 
Section 2: Patil sisters plus lots of other Hogwarts kids; Boggarts; 
Basilisk
Section 3: Sorting Hat
Section 4:
- 'just for a laugh' box: tick this after you have picked yourself up 
off the floor, even if you had to reject the post for other reasons - 
other people might enjoy too
- a text box to make comments in, primarily for the FAQ group, but 
also to explain a coding decision if you feel like it

3. Theory acronyms
Currently I have put all the acronyms from Inish Alley onto the 
categories list. However, most only ever attracted one or two posts, 
and we have decided to downgrade those ones to ordinary post status. 
Question: do you want me to take all the acronyms off now, in order 
to shorten the category list ?

4. Technical stuff
Paul's ISP has been at variable speeds all week, and he is 
investigating alternative hosts for the site to see if we can improve 
this. 

Also, the site won't be available next Friday (7th) through Sunday 
(9th). Paul is proposing an tickbox method of continuing on 
spreadsheets and will post details of this for anyone who wants to 
use it for those few days.

Alas, Anne is still locked out it seems..hope it can be resolved 
(wrings hands helplessly !)....

5. Finally, welcome to Kelly, no doubt already regretting her madness 
getting involved.
