  | Which is exactly why I think we should have a wiki on linux.ie for
  | "Certified by Ilug" -- links to cards

 is there really a point to this?
 there's plenty of sites/lists around (some
 generalist, some specific to distros or, I
 believe, types of H/W) — hint, try a search
 engine — so what would/could an ILUG thingie
 accomplish?  what would you know what's found
 on the thingie is any more up-to-date then
 what's found by searcing the ILUG e-mailing
 list archives?   a difference I can imagine
 is links to Irish suppliers and other such
 matters specific to Ireland, but beyond that
 (which is perhaps important), what's the point?

cheers!
