Wow this is coming together now, Kris what you mentioned about the profiles sounds great. I definitely think that the linux for chocolate is a sound idea. adam, your like me a little I'm always on the look out to try something new and this seems to me like a great idea to maybe pass on what we experience and it might even encourage people into getting more under the hood with linux.

PS. Adam, I like the guide idea, that could actually tie in with the linux for chocolate idea because the people that know something about what they are doing can have contacts on the profile page thing i mentioned above.
*notices that this is becoming a good idea, rather than a theory*

What about this Linux for chocolate idea, how about we have a page with a profile of people that want to take part in the project, and have information on what distros they have experience with, and what area they are in...etc.

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 reg
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.
