technically neither.  it's something lisa and jason found that was 
already written somewhere.  lisa put in many, many hours customizing the 
thing for wxdu, though, so it's definitely her baby at this point and 
she deserves a lot of credit for it.  jason played a role as well.  i 
have never touched the thing, myself.  well, except to use it.

yes.  i imagine at some point it will be made manditory, but i don't 
know if there's a plan or a timeline for this.  many people still hate 
computers and prefer pen and paper.  i hate computers but prefer them to 
pen and paper.  as does anyone who used to have to read my handwritten 
flowsheets.  (according to stingy, i had the worst handwriting at wxdu.) 
 (our version auto-refreshes too, btw.)

10 days.  playlists are chunked by show, so when a new dj comes on air 
the current playlist starts over.  there's a link on the front page to 
the last 10 days worth of playlists.  there is also some additional 
stuff available to djs but we're not allowed to discuss that.  ;)
