I was gonna mention how, with the advent of the whole Web 2.0 thing, that a lot of people view email (and mailing lists) as rather archaic. It's all well and dandy for us techies, but someone that is new to this kind of thing are most likely to feel more at ease checking out a Twitter page (yes, Twitter. not <a href="http://identi.ca">identi.ca</a>, since that is something most people haven't heard of) or something similar.<br>

</div>As you can probably see from the wiki page I threw together, I tend to<br>
see the mailing list as pretty central. I'm not sure what other options<br>
there are for meeting announcements? I suppose we could make an RSS<br>
feed? But then if someone can subscribe to an RSS feed, they surely can<br>
subscribe to an email list?<br></blockquote></div><div><br>True, but I still feel a lot of people outside the core geeks don't use mailing lists. Originally I was going to offer to build a nice Drupal site we could manage content on and use to populate social networks automatically. I've done this for a lot of clients. This was before I found out we had static hosting. I was going to offer to host it too, but we can discuss this on Wednesday. Along with all the other stuff. I like the ideas.<br>
<br>We should probably speak to Doof as well as he was running DokuWiki on <a href="http://livlug.org.uk" target="_blank">livlug.org.uk</a>. That domain could be redirected somewhere else.<br><br>Like I said let's discuss it on Wednesday.<br>
<br>See ya,<br><br>Dan<br></div></div>
