[Lincs] website

Guys, Girls etc  ;)

I am having serious thoughts about changing the building blocks of the 
test site.

I have recently had a good experience with Joomla and the components you 
can mix with it.

It would allow us to have all the tools we need with a single login.  
Allow for pre-built components and modules, plus it is fairly easy to 
include 'home grown' elements.

The level of user privileges is more granular than wordpress allowing 
different levels of admin rights for different members of the LUG so 
there isn't a 'single point of failure'.

Could all members have a think and post what requirements they would 
have on the site.

examples could be:

Blog
Forum
News
WiKi
Adverts
virtual desktop
or indeed anything else you can think of...

take a look at other LUG sites and see what they have - this is a great 
opportunity to get the best LUG site in the country, as we are 
essentially starting from scratch - so let's get it right :)

Focus the mind as it were ;)

cheers
