Re: Gnome-infrastructure Digest, Vol 7, Issue 3

[Jim Hodapp <jhodapp iupui edu>]

For the benefit of the mailing list, I replied back but forgot to reply
to the list.  textpattern does not require the register_globals option
to be turned on for what we're using it for.  Only certain plugins
require it, but we're not utilizing any at the moment.  So what's the
next step?

Thanks,

Jim Hodapp
