(Mar-28 08) (Jared): At this point the biggest impediment to my efforts is setting up a proper server to run a semi-automated stack like Drupal or Open Journal. I've hit a number of elemetary errors while trying to upload a test homepage, and, until I've learned a bit more about how these programs interact, there won't be much to see. No-one's yet come forward with helpful advice: I'd appreciate it, because I know this is not as difficult as I am making it.

(Mar-30 08) (Jared): The web-server troubles leave me with this: http://philreview.googlepages.com/

It's Google hosted, free, but won't have the automation we're looking for. It also currently lacks reviews and ratings...but with Google Docs it has the potential for a good archive and display. But anything more can be fixed or added, I need to see how to permit access to multiple users. These Drupal and Open Journal programs won't be of any use whatsoever without server access.

One thing that can be done about servers: if you are with an institution, then you may be able to create a unique webpage based on your university's server and web-domain. It would be completely free once you get through the traditional red-tape. I would do that myself, but I plan on working next year before entering graduate school, leaving me without any proper institutional access. This is intended for graduate students, so I would really like a 1st, 2nd or even 3rd year grad student to step up and do the necessary set up. Otherwise, we will all have to wait a year on me to get into a graduate program for most of our Phil-Review wish list to be fulfilled. [I expect Princeton can help here, but I'll look into this -- Richard.]

In the meantime, I need volunteers to submit papers for the Google start up. Visit the above address to see what there is and to see if its working. Notify me of any problems, concerns, etc.

(Mar-30 08) (evening) (Jared): Unfortunately I seem to be the only person posting for several days. I've finished putting together the basic PhilReview site using Google Pages. It looks very good. The only thing lacking is the ranking system; but I am very pleased with how the articles appear. Visit and take a look! I propose we stick with this site until a better site is up and running. I will now recieve article submissions per the guidelines I posted. Spring quarter begins tomorrow week for me, and I will only have time to convert text documents onto html pages--such as the sample I posted. Any further design efforts I leave up to y'all for now. Good luck!

(May 3, 08) [Richard] In addition to Jared's effort above, Alex has set up a Drupal test version here. http://test.alsnotepad.com/

I think we should set up the final version on the Princeton philosophy dept's webspace, since the affiliation may help for promotional purposes, and it's free and convenient. Our computer guy is currently flat out with other work, but he said he'd be happy to help with this project soon. (I hope we might be able to set it up over the summer break.)
