Actually, I should ask:  What exactly is the secretary supposed to do 
in this organization?  Keep meeting minutes, write up plans for future 
events, create posters/flyers if we ever get around to holding a 
general public event, implement Giant Laser Death Frisbees?  Like 
Suzanne implied, there might be some overlap between secretary and 
webmaster depending on how the Fearless Leader decides to do things.  
(Post the meeting minutes/schedule on the site, etc.)

I'd volunteer for the webmaster job in 5 seconds if I knew more about 
design and usability issues.  I know basic HTML, PHP, and CGI-Perl, I 
use a text editor to edit all documents, but making a site pretty was 
never my big concern.  ("Hey, it displays in lynx and the w3.org 
validator likes it, what more do you want?")  I believe JavaScript and 
Flash are Evil^W^W would cause more problems than they'd solve on a 
site like gllug.

If people are comfortable with leaving the site's design mostly static 
for a couple of months, I'll do the webmaster thing.  I'm totally 
comfortable with ssh'ing in to wherever the gllug.org box is and 
working with it on the command-line.  My cable modem works perfectly 
(unlike Ed's) and is on 24/7 so I can easily do remote work at any 
time.
