My two penneth:

Simplify, simplify, simplify!

Personally, I don't see a need for anything more than a static HTML page
with a nice bit of CSS. There isn't volunteer time available to manage
anything more than that, I'm assuming - we only need to put in an
introduction to the group, and some information on the next meetup
(even if it is only a link to the SWLUG announcement list).

I'm happy to knock something up if someone can sort out the hosting.

Bonus points if we can get a Raspberry Pi serving the website, we don't
need much more given the traffic volumes!

Cheers,

Mark
