[YLUG] Website news

[Harry Mills]

The wiki is useful if anyone contributes regularly to it. If it does not
grow then it might as well be replaced by something less susceptible to spam
attacks and more suited to the sites purpose.

An alternative is to have someone who can shove stuff up for other people on
the odd occasion that something needs putting up there. This could be run
off a CMS package like Joomla or custom made (static or dynamic).

Another suggestion would be to incorporate a planet style thing to aggregate
from members sites if members are interested. It would have to be something
in addition to the rest of the site, possibly static, for information on
YLUG events etc.

It would also be nice to get some calendar and openstreetmap integration for
the socials if possible. What facilities are available on the server to use?

I might have more thoughts after a sleep...
