Amiga User List: GAUHPIL Database now online
The GAUHPIL (Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List) is a
list created and moderated by Dietmar Knoll containing websites of
Amiga users sorted by continents and countries. Right now, the GAUHPIL
is migrating to a MySQL based database solution.
The GAUHPIL database is now publicly accessible, although there is
still room for improvement and not all pages have been altered
to the new layout scheme yet. On the other hand, the database itself
runs stable and the remaining static HTML pages will be adapted one
after another. (nba)
