Re: [Staffslug] Forums: What should the StaffsLUG website be about?

hmm a distrobution review type service would be good, I'm quite guilty or rotating distros or trying new releases of distros just to see what its like. It'd be great for us maybe "more experienced" users to give an actual real-world review of distrobutions, this could be fed back into the distrobutions projects as a bug/feature request type thing but at the same time be a guide for people want to switch distro or for newbies starting out. Maybe this could include a score system eg marks out of ten, if we reviewed enough distros we could say "The Staffs LUG has reviewed many distros and most like/use XXXXX". Also I don't often use mailing lists however this mailing list seems to have made an impression on me, however I'm not sure these discussions/emails should be kept behind the closed doors of mailman. Is there a way to prehaps intergrate it into E107? Or a way to import certain threads into the site so other lugs can see our views or to encourage linux users in stafford who pass by to join our discussions? As for the mirrors I don't think it would work, the best we could probabily do is offer an BitTorrent Tracker for a few ISOs. ------- Adam
