First, let's get some things straight. Nobody's a member of linux.ie - it's
a domain name, and can't really have members. The domain name belongs to the
Irish Linux Users Group, which can, and does, have members. You. just like
anyone else who has subscribed to the mailing list, are a member of ILUG,
according to § 3 of the constitution of ILUG as reproduced below.

3. Members
         1. Full membership of the society shall be open to anyone who is 
          a resident of the island of Ireland who agrees to support the aims
          of the Society
         2. Associate membership shall be open to anyone who is not eligible
          for full membership
         3. Membership shall be obtained by either:
                i.   Subscribing to the ILUG Mailing List
                        or
                ii.   Registering with the Secretary of the Society.
            There is currently no membership fee.
	 4. All members shall be bound by this constitution.

To put the lid on this, I can do no better than quote from the FAQ (also to
be found on the website) which paraphrases Donncha's answer

Why don't you have information on $whatever on your website?

Because nobody's written anything on it. The website is maintained by
volunteers so if you want to see something on it, don't complain about it to
other people, just go ahead and write it yourself.


A community like ILUG cannot exist if everyone takes the attitude "Someone
had better do something, but it won't be me".
