Hi All,
I've updated the CLUG page - the projects have been moved to a separate page
until I get them sorted out, and the contacts have been updated.
This is your website too - send me suggestions via the list for what we should
put up there!.

The "keep it simple" style for the front page has been relatively popular and
has the advantage of being simpler to load. In the past, quite a number of
people have been very much against using Wordpress and other dynamic content
generation systems for the front page, and I'm generally in that camp too.
There's also a fair number of attacks of varying description against said
systems, and account management is a further pain that I'd like to avoid.
The grand plan is for a system, which we call "club-in-a-box", to do the whole
wiki / blog / knowledgebase / content management system thing with lots of
bolt on extras. But the front pages will still be basically static to keep
design simple. That system will also be one that I fully expect to be flying
around in my own quantum-wave-energy-powered car before its for real.

Once I got past the "Fast Wide Single Ended" SCSI definition and worked out
you were talking about search engines I got with it :-)
"Members" are something that the CLUG does not really possess. We also don't
have an executive committee, subscriptions, funds, or assets. This is
slightly unusual in a LUG for our size but in my opinion it's working
perfectly. I'm a little unsure about, therefore, how to select those people
who go on that 'members' list without either being accused of favouritism,
missing out some critical 'old guard' person I (as a relative newcomer to
CLUG) didn't know about, missing out some critical 'rising star' person I
didn't know about, or laziness. It's a good suggestion, I'm just not sure how
to execute it.
Have fun,
Paul
