Hi Peter, (apologies for the name mixup on my last post)
Hi, Rob.
None needed - I've used Sam as a pseudonym on the net for longer than I remember, and often post with the other name, if I'm not sure where my post will end up ... I've long since answered to both ... :)
Thanks for the heads up on the ubuntu site, i'll have a look at what they're doing. I'll keep those ideas in mind, I think it'd be useful to have atleast a few common links available from everywhere on the wiki.
Definitely. The content will settle down after a few weeks, and it will become clearer what the pages are that need to be statically linked, but I suspect it include the mailing lists, IRC and the support section, at least. I intend to start putting together the latter soon ... starting with a "Where do I get help" to "How to get started with linux" and an "Ask ALUG" section etc.
Also, had a look at the page today, i hadn't seen the updated front page with the next meet dates. I think I agree they're a good thing to have up there, and it is looking a lot 'friendlier' than it was.

Glad it's not universally hated. I'm just trying to make it as appealing, yet simple, as I can with a strong indication that the site is actually in use. Now that the new macro's installed, I've been thinking about playing with the content at the bottom, and possibly adding a news panel.
What do people think about that idea? It will confirm up front that our community is using the site (assuming we keep it up to date!) but, as we don't have a lot of very important "news" it might get filled with entries like "Syleham Kit Meet Proposed - Date TBA" .... hardly earth-shattering.
What's the general feeling about that?
Sam.
