Might it be worth us putting together a few FAQs for the WolvesLUG list:

- - What shouldn't I post in here?
- - Where and when are the meetings?
- - What distro is best for a beginner?
- - How do I make _____ work?
- - Can you help me install ______?
- - Etc etc.

Just posting it to the list once a month, with links to more details in
the wiki perhaps.

Cheers,

Chris
