Hello Folks!
I've foolishly agreed to be your new hostmaster / webmaster.
At the AGM, we discussed the fact that the existing website is
languishing somewhat for lack of fresh content and general TLC.
Another problem was that the wiki was (until recently) updatable by
anyone, resulting in vast amounts of spam.
People at the meeting seemed to like the idea of converting the site to
a CMS, probably WordPress, and granting HantsLUG members permission to
add and edit the content.
I'm happy to get that process started unless there are any objections --
initially I'll get the new site running in parallel with the old.
I'd like to get members' ideas and opinions on these sorts of questions:
* What is the website for?
* Who is it aimed at?
* What should it look like? Suggestions for suitable WordPress
templates will be especially welcome.
* What should it contain? These sorts of things perhaps...
