I have a lot of good ideas.  I read and understand documentation, although sometimes it takes a few reads on my part to get the point across.  I'm not afraid to try new things and I don't mind looking up how on google.  But my knowledge of code is really limitted.  I'm learning as I go.  I'm using the PMWiki system for building the nevada site and it's very easy to put together.  I can also get help from the PMWiki users list, and some of the developers have been good to give me a hand with things like upgrading their scripts for php 5 compatibility as needed.

The thing is, the script is only for one mailing list, and I've got two.  So, I hacked  together the code so that some one could choose the list that they want to subscribe or unsubscribe from and it works... Sort'a.

So, there's a logic error somewhere and I spent 5 hours on monday building and testing the code, then a half hour or so each day going over and over it since then, and I don't see it.  Probably just lack of experience, but I'm behind on development and could use a mentor with the experience to spot these things.
