The Atlanta Linux General Store has offered to host our website and we are
working out the details of a coursework/curriculum that will be offered
regarding PHP and open source databases.

Also specific club project details are being worked out such that many of the
libraries available for use with PHP, MYSQL & PostgreSQL will be studied for
incorporation.

Certainly the administrative, shopping cart, forum discussion, classifieds, and
graphics libraries will be looked at.

If anyone has any current PHP projects underway please let me know.

As response to PHP B.O.F. Technical Discussion Questions at Atlanta Linux
Conference, the below URL's are direct bullseye to described resources which
should address many questions regarding PHP /database driven web development.
The first is the Main Website for PHP. The remainder are some I've selected from
locations other than the Homepage and many from the homepage as well.
