Here's Step #1:

In your VERY spare leisure time, create a special form in the Cuisine
Section with a Link/Banner/Blurb on the main page (and sprinkle links for
the form to the main subsection title pages), inviting visitors to submit
recipes that fall into these categories, with these requirements:

ONLY These Food Catagories:

(You can make them Check Boxes)

Creole
Cajun
Louisiana
Seafood
French

Recipes must be ORIGINAL, but may be based on "standard" recipes (e.g. who
can copyright a basic Roux, for instance?) and CERTIFIED as such - A
statement MUST assert that Gateway is NOT responsible for the copyrighted
status of any submitted recipe, that it is the sole responsibility of the
poster to affirm this, and that Gateway will REMOVE ALL submissions found
to be copyrighted. I'm secretly hoping a lot of wanna-be's will steal
recipes and post them here anyway.

They must sumbit their name and E-mail address, but can choose to not have
that info posted (another check box I guess).

Can this be automated? I don't know if Flexmail will allow you to parse the
reply to the extent that if a certain box is checked, a certain field will
not be posted to the "reply" form, but WILL be sent to us. This may have to
be done manually. I am hoping we can have the results automatically posted
like a Guestbook or Newsgroup.

If you feel like it, if the Seafood Category box is checked, results can be
posted to ONLY the Seafood Form Reply (one for each category or one master
list - whichever is more convenient).

Visitors MUST affirm (check box?) that by submitting a recipe to Gateway
that Gateway has the right to the use of the submitted recipe - such as
publishing it on Gateway and that, hence, it is in the Public Domain.

Now comes the really HARD PART for you:

We will need to have this submission process run at LEAST 3-6 months or
until we get about 350+ recipe submissions from which we can cull the best.
This also has the HUGE LEGAL BENEFIT of having submitted recipes endure
scrutiny by thousands of individuals who can serve as a watchdog for KNOWN
copyrighted material, and will alert us to such, permitting us to NOT use
it and risk legal jeopardy when we come out with the "cookbook".

That's it for now. Feel free to add to the submission form whatever else
you think should go there.

Oh yeah: Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will any wording suggest we may be doing
anything with these submissions beyond listing them on Gateway. In fact,
I'd keep this aspect ultrasecret from everyone. Also, if it looks like we
aren't going to get a lot of submissions after a month or two, we can kill
this PRIVATE aspect and move on to some other enterprising scheme.
