[ILUG] content required for YOUR WEBSITE

[AJ McKee]

Hi All,

My views on this have been well know for a while so I won't go into
such detail as I have done so before. But in short my main points are;

1. Designers --- Where are ya? Step forward and help out here please
or if you work for a design company as a sys admin, draft in the help
of your work mates
2. Having one editor is bad, have light weight teams for different
areas. Say one team for advance stuff and one for newbie stuff and so
on, they should appoint an editor themselves and he/she approves
content
3. Content is then sent to a web publishing team or if the thing is
wikied, the editors have final approval of content published.
4. Have a section for business information and linux usage in business.

And a few more points like this can be found from previous mails. But
basically I am here sittin on me tod now with a few hours to kill from
titme to time, so I will be preparing a new standards compliant design
for peer approval and comment, I also am handy with php etc.

Now that we have the main objectives should we not start to split up
what we what on the site, sort out the useful information and the most
accceesd (Analyse site stats)

There are tonnes of us here and I agree a cumbersome system will
prevent ease of publication. But also organically growing the site at
this stage is pointless and will lead to problems, a bit of work
getting the basic parts right and we'd be flying. I am willing to
donate a lot of my time to this, but I am not going to get involved in
adding hacks to hacks, if we can agree on a roadmap, like any good
opensource project (Believe it or not the same principles can be
applied) I think we can have a kick ass web site that looks good,
contains great information and is a modle for the rest of the lugs in
the world.

Cheers
AJ
