website

[Dave Briggs]

I've made a start: http://davedev.org/clug/ - using WordPress and
hacking a pre-existing theme.

For some reason when doing the logo I called it CamLUG rather than
clug - will change tomorrow. If anyone has any photos, maybe of CLUG
events that could be used on the home page, do chuck them my way.

At the moment the blog bit of the site is set up as 'latest news'
which could report on the latest meetings, events, etc - so could act
as a group blog. The other option is to use something like
FeedWordPress to aggregate other people's blogs into it.

If we don't choose to do the latter then I was going to build some
sort of planet arrangement elsewhere on the site, linked to from the
homepage.

There is also a wiki, linked to from the homepage. I've just used
PMwiki which doesn't require a login, just a password. We could use
this to house various resources, member biogs etc.

Do let me know what you all think. Is this heading the right way, in your view?

Dave
