for the login/password part we need php-session (hope you guys runs
php4), and it isn't really hard to make this work quite easily - the
esiest way is actually to rip the code snippet from one of the scripts
at hotscripts.com or sites like that. 

I did the RSS/xml system last year by making a news adding site where it
basically prepends (add to the start of a file) the news item to an xml
file in the format :<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<backend xmlns:backend="http://guadec.gnome.dk/news/backend.dtd";>
<story>
<title>The Title</title>
<time>Date and Time</time>
<url>http://www.someurl.com</url>
<author>KimuSan</author>
<news>the news item</news>
<image>an image (if any)</image>
</story>

then you just add a new story section (<story></story>) after the lines
about <?xml... and <backend... 

to show the news I then just had an xml parser setting up the site with
the info from the xml file. I also added a links parser that made all
the http://... ftp://... etc. clickable. 

last years backend file is here:
http://guadec.klid.dk/news/guadecnews.xml
and the news add site (not password protected) is here:
http://guadec.klid.dk/webadmin/addnews.php

it is very basic but works. 


I think that I can replace the news system on the front site within an
hour if I can get a hold on the sysadmin of the server hosting last
years site. 


later..
