Please do post to kFW if you have any thoughts on this...


Steve Walker presents at Multicast conference
---------------------------------------------

Congratulations to Steve Walker of XchangePoint for his sterling Kendra 
Initiative presentation at IIR's Multicast conference earlier this week. 
Hopefully we'll start to see more participants prepared to take the plunge 
and stand up and tell the world about what Kendra Initiative is up to. Nice 
one Steve! Encore!
 


Help needed on the technical side
---------------------------------

As you may have noticed I am pointing you to some rather strange archives. 
That's because we're having some technical difficulties with the website 
and the hosting server. There are 2 issues here. Firstly, we do not have 
total control of the hosting server and so are subject to rules that don't 
favour our website. Solution: get our own server. Secondly, over the few 
years we've had masses of brilliant technical help on the website but right 
now it's pretty much me. It would be great to be able to hand over all 
technical management to someone or some people more technically minded than 
myself or, at least, be working with technical people on a day to day 
basis. If you're interested please congregate on the kDev mailing list and 
we'll start the discussion...
