Some *very* good points there dick_turpin! I've already setup a
identi.ca group for the lug. its url is:
http://identi.ca/group/staffslug I really like identi.ca/twitter etc and
think it might even bring in new members to the lug. About the site I
totally agree. something simple like wordpress could even be used.
anything rather than e107. you can get wordpress to do some really nifty
things like push updates/articles to things like identi.ca etc. I've set
it up on my own home server and its a breeze to use.
Personally I don't think Wordpress is what you need, if you intend to
run Forums/Community builders/Calendars/Events etc you'll need Joomla,
Drupal Blah blah blah. While you can create 'links' to standalone
features like Gallery2 you'd be better off having a proper cms (Content
Management System) rather than say;
/wordpress
---------------/Gallery
-------------------------/Forum
That could end up a lotta storage and a '/path nightmare'
Having said that I hate Forums so wouldn't join one if we had one I much
prefer mailing lists anyway.
Just some thoughts from experience, chuck em on the fire if you like :-)
dick: arent you on identi.ca? I think I saw you on there but was a
little hesitant to add you.
I'm on all of em, I'd be hesitant too :-D
