I have a host for my own site, and I know some HTML/CSS/JS. I can set up a web page for the Tcom Folding Team, but I won't go hog wild with daily updates like The Knights Who Say Ni! 
So post your requirements here:
Do you want a traditional 3-column layout like this:
http://www.kens.net/main.html
I'll need to set up a new web folder. What do you want the url to be?
example: www.kens.net/folding
What links do you want? Obviously a link to this forum, and EoC, and Stanford, but what else?
Content for the FAQ? Is this already written?
Your preferred color scheme: background, font, etc.
Logo? Use the existing one?
etc.

I am easy with anything. (sorry not much help am I)
But I havce plenty of spare web space - about (300mb) and about 6GB of bandwidth a month spare on one of my sites.
I am also considering killing off my www.1337.net website - so I may even be able to give you the name to host it on if you want.

If you want to let go of the domain, I might want to pick that up. Expires 02-nov-2004?
As I mentioned, I can set up the HTML and stuff, I just need help with the actual content.

I'll do you a deal.
You get a nice site set up and I'll let you have the domain name.
I have hosting for the site as well - paid up for a few months yet. It has all the features and plenty more you may want - you can use it for free, as I have two other hosts anyway..

OK, I just need some input on the actual content: FAQ, links, etc. I can start work on a HTML prototype, and I'll use the existing logo.

genO had some ideas as well so lets be sure to get input from him and any one else who thinks they may have a cool or EASY way to set up/manage the site.
Want to look at The Knights faq and do a blend of it for our use? Most faq's I have see re Folding are pretty much the same and as another thought, we could put some stuff in the Tcom FAQ re folding and some links to what ever is decided to be set up.
What think?

I was thinking of putting a link to the official Stanford FAQ:
http://www.stanford.edu/group/pande...olding/faq.html
And grabbing content from our own sticky threads. As you say, most folding FAQ's would be pretty similar.
I don't want to update the active members list every day. Once a week is more realistic for me. Again, I would post a link to EOC:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking....p?s=&t=1328&p=1

K, I have been updating at least once a day here.
I use Word's "move" capacity to do the flipping of users.

I can do the color-coding manually in HTML, at least once a week. And I'll provide a direct link to your page.

Nice if we could grab the overclockers data and stick it right to our site.

If the server supports perl, we can do it easily:
code:
use LWP::Simple;
$content = get("http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=1328");
die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;

this sounds like an excellent idea, and I like having the updated states that searcher has started. Sadly I have become a bit busy regarding school for the fall but i should be getting some free time in the next week. I know that someone on the coolmon forum had created a script that would read the standford site (or was it EoC) ... anyways it would input it in to an XML format which would make this whole project much easier. As well one problem I do see is if we had an external website the amount of traffic would be small, but if it was setup like the GTF then that would be great. I really am totally stoked about the effort that is being put forth for F@t.com  at any rate, i'm going to look for the info for polling the websites for our stats  ... please keep up the great work.

- do you have a link to the coolmon forum?
- what do you mean, set up like the GTF? GTF has a website?

If this is soley for Tcom folding info and is going to be themed to match, why not put a tcom subdomain (folding.tournament.com) there? Just tell me where to point the DNS and it'll be done.

i don't have a link to it anymore.. they had a database crash, so i'm having a friend from there look for me (he archived everything that he could ... a bit anal if you ask me... but it comes in handy) .. and for the website i mean having a link at the top of the forum ..

it is a VBS script that can be configured to poll standford.... i haven't tried it yet, but i think we could use it to create a text file that a php script could read and could be updated automatically if run on a windows setup.. even if it was a user (me or search) could have it running on our systems and once it is uploaded it would be uploaded to the webspace and then the website could always poll the new file for updates..  if that made sence.
If anyone wants to talk more about my idea please msn me @ gen0c1de__[at]hotmail.com or the lappie mobile_gen0c1de[at]hotmail.com

I think the idea is to keep the Tcom flavor for the stats and faq website if I am reading correctly. I like the idea of a smooth blend where users don't have to stray far to get information or stats.
Thanks Rit.
