Last night I set up a basic frameset and menus.

Because of the scope of this you need to structure it. Rather than
making up
a structure, I decided to use the ATA 100 (or at least my barstardized
version).

As the issues generally get discussed at great length on the email group,
the best practises should try to avoid opinion and concentrate on what has
become the group majority opinion. Valid minority opinions should also be
included and marked as such. An example would be RV fuel system. Ideal is a
return to tank in use using the Andair valve, Equally valid is Tracy's Main
tank-Aux tank system, not recommended (although currently working) is Ed's
header/return tank on the firewall.

Do we require any content be first submitted to the group for review
(resparking each discussion), or do we let anyone write content, and then
just discuss the ones which get flammed most?

So far there is no content other than an intro page which I whipped up. I
have only tested IE 4.0 and a 1024x768 res (+1600x1200 at work), so could
someone with Netscape or earlier IE versions please confirm that this
Frameset works (Obviously those with really old browsers that don't support
frames will have to see it at a friends place :)

If anyone has improvement suggestion, I would be glad to hear than.
Especially it there is a need to modify the main Chapter list. I would like
to finalize this soon (hopefully it already is), as It is already
reasonably
complex. I just noticed the first error in Powerplant.

The (currently unlinked) subchapter essay titles are just place
holders, and
will be revised as content is added.

Chris, your offer of hosting is very generous. I have 10mb space with my
ISP, and having aDSL they allow 1Gb of monthly traffic , so it is okay
there
for now. Long term I think putting it on your server is a good idea. If you
would like to discuss the details of how we do this, please email me at
Wrathall@aon.at

Looks good Mark. Seems like a lot of work ahead.

I think this is a great start.  It's well organized and we will go through
all these sections as we put our systems together.  It will take a while to
fill in the details but that's just as well while we continue to sort out
some of those details.
