Hi all,
This is my first post to the resurrected list. I've been following along
most of the discussions out of curiosity, but, as James phrased it, I'm
a "leaver." I switched to building dynamic sites in PHP a couple of
years ago. I continued to use Frontier for the many static sites I build
for about six months longer.

I've learned a lot from Frontier in my years using it, but when I
switched, I intended to get Frontier completely out of my system. This
meant that I needed a templates & scripts site building tool to replace
Frontier for static sites.

I first developed the system I call "Elements" in Oct 2000. I've been
using it to build my static sites exclusively since then. Elements uses
the file system to maintain its data. Scripts are written in Python.
Elements has all the tools, speed and stability of Python available to
it. Early this year I put a lot of effort into documenting Elements.

I'm looking for a few people to test the system and the documentation.
After doing the documentation, I've come to see the docs as an important
sub-system of the application. I have strong confidence in the
application processes so this beta is as much about the docs as it is
about the application.

If you are interested in testing Elements, please send me a private
email. I'll send you the required files.

The docs are here:
http://www.nthwave.net/elements/

I may as well say up front that I stuck a PayPal donate button on the
site.

Apologies to any who may feel this is an inappropriate post to the
ScriptMeridian list.

Thanks to Frontier and Dave for getting me hooked on scripting, teaching
me about the separation of content from layout, and for saving me from
the boredom of search and replace.

Mike Mell
