Ringlink Ring Directory - UpDate

["Debby Turner" <confused at cableone.net>]

Hi All,
I thought it was time that  an up on the Ringlink Ring Directory Project was
sent.  First I wanted to thank the member that sent a link to directory
project that they are working on. It gave me some valuable insight to some
additions for the RL Project that might added in at a later date.
The project is moving forward.  I think that we have reached an agreement
over the structure of the program.  There are still a few things in the
programming stage; merging the original Links2 program to Links2 with a SQL
data base, implementing a better password protection mod for
changing/updating your ring listing, and an e-mail contact/suggestion form
for the admin.
There are also a few things that have nothing to do with the programming
part of the project that I would like to ask for help with.
1. Webring, Web Ring or webring?  I know that this has been discussed
several times on many lists but at the time I want paying attention :(   I
know that Pete prefers Web Ring when it is used in a title.  I would like to
ask our list members to take a look at the directory home page:
http://www.d-r-d.com/pages/ and tell exactly what form of the word I should
use, where and when.  If you leave it up to my little fingers I would drop
the word web and use just ring.  As a matter of fact I have... but I am not
sure if that is expectable to the rest of the community.
2. Same question - Ringmaster, Ring Master, RingMaster or Ring Manager

Someone with better written communication skills might want to take what is
there now and turn it into a more recognizable form of the English language
:o)
The welcome message needs to make 4 points
1. the directory's function
2. where to go to join a ring
3. where to go to start your own ring
4 where to go to start your own ring hosting system
