I agree that there isn't *that much* that we need Plone for, I 
suggested it as a
simple way of keeping information such as the meeting date, up to date 
(without
giving a whole load of people access to the hosting account).  I'm sure there
are alternatives :-)  However, it would also be nice to be able to add a few
more member sites to the list in the menu (for example)

I think that if we had an easily editable website, then people might add some
more content to it - however we could just add a link to the wiki from the
website - then if people wanted to add information it could just go there -
incidentally I think apart from typical LUG apathy, thats probably the main
reason that more people aren't using the wiki.

We're moving to Plone at work as a way for our non-techie staff to be able to
keep the website up to date without any help from us lot who have to earn the
money.   We've had a wiki here at work for some time, and its taken me 
an awful
lot of nagging to get people to use it, but once a couple of us had spent some
time putting in some really useful stuff, it got to the point where it was
worth keeping up to date, and people do use it.  That reminds me, I haven't
checked the Infopoint wiki this week.
