Right now, the only cgi-bin scripts available to county coordinators are:
The RootsWeb counter.
Mailmerge, which is the Swiss Army knife of cgi-bin scripts and will
support forms, guest books, query pages, ...
Custom search engines we build for folks with data in the Archives, like
you'll find at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/searches/
When we build you a search engine, you can easily install it right into
your county page.
As soon as time allows, we'll have event calendars, WAIS gateways (great
for indexing wills, obits, bios, and other raw text), and a php gateway
into the postgress95 relational database, which will let you do hairy
database searches with relative simple server-side includes.
BTW, we will set up private cgi-bin areas for folks who want to develop
their own scripts, but there are two *really* inflexible rules associated
with doing your own CGI programming:
All scripts *must* be reviewed by me *before* any HTML link points to
them. (CGI scripts are notorious security problems and resource hogs.)
Please don't ask me (or Karen) to help debug your script or to teach you
scripting. It's not that we're unfriendly; it's just that we do this stuff
professionally, and it is no fun at all to be stuck doing the same thing
on rec time as you're doing during billable hours.
