The new site is live! Go take a look at http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/
It's all held under revision control (CVS) and built using the latest in simple user-friendly technology. I'm now accepting more articles to make the first "edition" of the site which will be announced in numerous places, along with details on LinuxDay and our next meeting (confirmed yet John?).
As I've said to one person off-list, I know the current design isn't that great, so if you want to come up with a new page template, please create it and show it to the list. I'll abide by the decision of the majority, natch.
So, would-be writers, contact me for submission details. Would-be editors, I'll have the access details written up in a day or so, so email me now if you haven't already.
Finally, what I said before still holds:

Personally, I am particularly interested in having the following:
- Meetings information for the rest (mailing list+memory, anyone?)
- Articles from a new user's point of view
- Reviews of some Linux Games
- Pointers to new-user information
but this is not a concrete list, so feel free to discuss them or suggest other ideas to the mailing list.
I'm also *desperate* for more people to help with the site. Workload should be minimal and everything should be as easy as possible now (at last!), but it was some time since I asked and I don't know how situations have changed, so I'm asking again.

Horray! :)

I've been having a bit of a play with MySQL, PHP and various others bits and bobs over the past couple of days (as I'm attempting to learn both MySQL and PHP properly - although I'm always tempted to nick other people's code!!), and as a result, I've managed to cobble together a Slashdot-like interface for my own personal site (see http://www.drake.org.uk). It was put together using PHP-Nuke (http://www.phpnuke.org) and I think it makes for a nice interface, is easy to administrate, and I think it would work quite well for Alug.

*cough* why mySQL? *cough* I am currently using mySQL for a project I am working on for someone, but not through choice (as such) more through having SFA choice, that's what they had the data in, that's what they use. I am, personally, much more in favour of the much nicer postgres, try it, you just might like it (yes, you can run both on the same box, I do!).
Just my 2p worth ;)
