Sorry Kevin, I guess I misunderstood your question
I'd meant that each person can vote for one up to five software packages to be done, but each person can only cast one vote for a specific software package.
Just a by-the-way.. I've been working today on the World-ML version of the starter package. When it's finished, the Canada-ML and USA basic packages will be next. The the plugins for specific weather software will be done, in the order of most votes to least.
The basic packages (Canada-ML, USA, World-ML) will likely need PHP5+ as some of the scripts already use PHP5 functions (and PHP4 is already deprecated by the authors anyway).
The weather software plugins will need the following for operation:
WeatherLink: a WLtags.htm file (uploaded through WeatherLink) with an optional WLrealtime.htm file if you want to use AJAX
VWS: a VWStags.php file (uploaded through VWS) with optional use of WeatherFlash wflash.txt/wflash2.txt for AJAX updates
Cumulus: a Cumulustags.php file (uploaded through Cumulus) with optional use of the realtime.txt for AJAX updates
similar for WXSolution and WUHU.
The design relies on the Settings.php file to control sitewide+builtin scripts, and a Settings-weather.php file associated with the specific weather software. That way, you can slap on a new weather software plugin, and the site can change easily to a different weather software.
When I'm a bit further along, I'll let y'all have a peek at the work in progress.
Best regards,
Ken
