Simon, a few months ago the lug.org pulled the plug on all UK lug
websites due to a php vulnerability. Their intention was to set up new
web accounts, I have sent them details for to obtain a web account
twice but I've had no reply. It looks as if I have hit a dead end
here. My intention is now to host the Taylug website on my own server
within a Xen VM. I will be revamping the site using a web content
manager e.g. Drupal 6 or Joomla. I will probably test drive both in
separate VM's just to see what the differences are between them. The
advantage of hosting it on your own server, apart from the cost, is
that you are not limited in disk allocation, you have got GB's to play
with rather than MB's. I have a few other ideas fermenting that I
might also deploy. The time frame for this is about a couple of months
as I have other stuff to do as well.  I hope this answers your
question.
