Other technical groups I have been involved with have discussed cooking; in
one case a cookbook of sorts was produced.[1]  I would be interested in the
recipe, but I don't know that it is necessarily the ideal place for it.

Probably.  Agreeing where is harder. ;)

PS: Would it be inappropriate if it was paired with a discussion that included
technical issues, say recipe management software for Linux?

PPS: Does anyone know of any recipe management software for Linux that isn't
completely dreadful, and which provides a web interface to the content, and
the facility to heavily customize the "output for print" process?
