Hi gang,<br>
Have been busy this evening finding out how to get a YLUG website<br>
up and running. Basically, I need to download and review the content<br>
from the old site, and set up a new site on the shiny new, less<br>
compromised server. I've made relevant requests to the <a href="http://lug.org.uk" target="_blank">lug.org.uk</a><br>
people to get that moving, will post updates as I get them.<br>
<br>
Current priority is to get advertising up for the installfest; I'll<br>
post separately about that nearer to the weekend. Meanwhile, does<br>
anyone have any opinions on whether to stick with the mediawiki<br>
approach that we've been using on the YLUG site, or to switch to<br>
something different? Whatever we go for, it won't be up for a little<br>
while yet, but this seems like a good time to get the discussion<br>
going.<br>
