Hey its all new to me, its the features I like and all I was thinking was ease 
of use and all in one location. Login stick some news/comments on plonk a 
link in. It doesn't have to be Mambo I'm sure people with SQL & PHP or HTML 
skills could put something together.

On the one hand we could do with a site like Fedora Forum (I don't know what 
the application/package/program is called) the problem is nobody has the time 
to manage it as I think (I don't know) they have to be moderated.

The problem I've always felt with Wolves-Lug website is everything is all over 
the place centralisation is the key to good promotion.
