Vic,

To make the MMLT reader up-to-date, we have to download the XML files every 12 or 24 hours from MMLT server. What would be a good method to implement this? Can the server be scheduled to run a script once or twice everyday ?

Changing plan.

I will transfer the development of web-interface to someone else.
(Will probably be in PHP programming.)

I will keep focus on the development of the core system in Python, MySQL.
