Can end-users maintain their own data?
LynxGuide has a mechanism to allow ‘public’ users to maintain these items. Public users are people that want to subscribe or unsubscribe their phones and emails from Lynx. You simply create contact list Groups by using the keyword Public/AnyName, where AnyName could be teachers, students, or parents. A comment is also added, such as “If you are a student, select this”. Then students/teachers/parents and anyone given the correct URL can subscribe and unsubscribe from the above list. There are mechanisms in Lynx code to de-duplicate a list, to expand and recurse lists, and prevent a list within a list from ending up in an endless loop.
