Hi everyone,
After a discussion with Sifu, I will be taking on a big project. This project will involve making some important changes to Sifu's websites in an effort to help Sifu make more efficient use of his time. I will be in charge of this project, and initially, I will be doing much of the work myself.
In the near future, I would like to pass on this project to one or several trusted Shaolin Wahnam students or instructors. Those of you who are skilled with web design can potentially inherit this project. Here is an overview.
The first step is to change all of Sifu's main site from absolute links to relative links. I will take care of this, although I welcome advice on how to go about this. From there, we'll move the entire site to a more appropriate domain (shaolin.org was a temporary solution that ended up being not so temporary). From there, we'll begin the gradual process of relieving Sifu of the time he spends maintaining his website.
At present, Sifu does 99.9% of the work on his website. I'm sure that all of you will agree that Sifu's time is better spent teaching courses, writing books, and taking Simu out to eat. The goal of this project is to help Sifu to better leverage his time. I envision a win-win situation where Sifu has more time, and where students are happily helping their beloved teacher as well as earning a discount for upcoming courses.
By the end of 2008, I would like to have a system set up where Sifu simply emails his Q&As to a student. The student will then organize the information and upload it to the website. The same will apply to articles and videos. This will give Sifu more time to teach, write books, etc. In the process, the student will receive a discount towards courses with Sifu in Malaysia.
Students interested in this project must meet the following requirements:
Those who don't meet the requirements, or who are too busy to take it on, can still contribute. Mostly, I'll need technical advice as I work on the project. The forum is probably a good medium for that, and everyone should feel free to contribute to threads on the subject.
Speaking of contributing, feel free to contribute your comments, questions, and suggestions to this thread. You may also contact me directly via PM or email.
All the best,

All the best,
but I am interested in helping out any way I can.
from the ♥
I'll start right away and give my .2 cents:
, a clear navigation and putting all the content into a online-database system - that would be the best way with the best result, but it's also the most work... but afterwards a database would be way more easy to update than it is now.
, but if needed I would be pleased to offer some help in design, concept and graphic stuff for the site...
