[GLLUG] New look for website

[Brad Fears]

Albeit very possible to enable story submissions to the site, the biggest problem would be the administrative overhead of tracking submissions/comments, etc.  Besides that, most of our users already read Slashdot and sites like it, so many of the postings would just be repetition.

For now, we could just stick to GLLUG-related stories for posting.

That's very slick.  I like it much better.  

<Ideas>
Have we considered the idea of putting a posting system on the site.  So
we could have a SlashDot like front page that has stories that we have
submitted?  Something like that may be useful, especially when you find a
good site that has an article about Linux, or other things of interest to
the community, it can be posted there instead of to the mailing list.  Or
as another idea, how about having the site list the last 5-10 unique
postings to the list.  So that we have a small blurb about the email, then
you can click on the "Read More" to see the rest of it, and any replies to
it, all from the web browser.  
</Ideas>

Site looks great.. =)
