[ILUG] Site layout

[Dot Cork]

Why should the www.cork.linux.ie site not host more general information. the 
way I see is that there is very little information on Linux on the 
www.linux.ie site itself. Apart from links and a BGTL there is very little. 
Of course I know there wouldn't be any point in sending technical questions 
to the Cork list, that is just for informing people of meetings and stuff.

I also agree that there should be an installfest in Cork some time after the 
Summer, hopefully in the CIT.
