Time to Re-visit Dynamic Phlogging For a few years SDF used the Bucktooth gopher server, which works fine but had some security issues that were very hard to fix given that server's design and the difficulty of testing. In particular, this affected gopher moles (CGI scripts), as SMJ had disabled them due to security concerns. I and a few others mentioned Gophernicus, which SMJ was kind enough to install and which now powers the SDF gopher sites. It supports much of the CGI standard and was designed with security in kind. Now that we have mole capability back, I'd like to revisit Slerm [0], my gopher phlogging engine that was based partly on Germ [1], by wt. Last I checked Slerm did not work as-is, and will need some work. This would allow you to dump text files in a directory and have the phlog engine (really a gopher CGI script) display them in date order, broken up in pages, with links to archives and with tag and simple comment support (think Bloxsom for gopher). The latest version of Germ seems to support Gophernicus, so perhaps that is a good starting point.
