I think that there are people with skills who could be forced to do technical things, but of course what we really need are people with admin skills to organise and make plans and gather ideas together to make it happen.
I've snipped the rest of Adam's message for brevity. I'd like to do a bit more to get something moving. In a couple of week's time I'll hae some more time and energy (school hols).
Adam's suggestions are a good basis. I particularly like the idea of a few novices getting togeher (can be done by email) to swap ideas on what we need to know and then bringing that to the group or at a meeting. I will post some sort of remnder about this but in the meantime I am happy to start compiling a list of requests by email.
