So does anyone have any practical/technical advise on how the government sites could have done better.
I was very surprised that there was no option to download the whole package. I would very much liked to have had a tar.gz to download with the Starr report and Clinton's response, and in fact I put together such a package for our local mirror. I think that many of the people who visited the sites probably saved the files to disk to read later, I know I did. Sean, if you want the URL feel free to mail me privately. I would have put together a tar.gz and a pk-zip'ed version of the files themselves, and a small README file describing how to use the file:/// URL type since many "average" internet users don't know how to use this feature, but probably would if they had the opportunity, especially with something like this that is of "historic" (or prurient, whatever :) interest. Also, the .htm file extension caused some problems with one of my systems. I just renamed them to .html and used sed on 2toc.htm[l] and was back in business. Hope this is of use, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** "Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign." - William Jefferson Clinton, 1974
