ES Designs moves to Manila

 The ES Designs website was first build with Frontier 4.0. Since then Frontier has made many improvements in its web building tools, culminating in Manila. We have now flipped the switch and the ES Designs site is now being built through Manila. You can still access most of the old site through the "Archive" link, but let us know if something is missing.

 One aspect of the new site is that you can join into discussions of information on the site or anything that ES Designs is doing. Just follow the "Discuss" link.

webScheduler

 webScheduler started life as a cgi for Frontier 4.0. It moved to a Manila plugin architecture in March 1999. Unfortunately, there was a significant amount of legacy code in the first webScheduler plugin. We have recently started reworking webScheduler to remove this code and allow users to customize the appearence of webSchedulers calendars and schedules.

 We are also working with webScheduler to add contact management tools, incorporate xmlStorage and upstreaming, and provide a Radio interface.
