[SGVLUG] Call for webmasters / upcoming presentations

[Max Clark]

Hi all,

My belief is that this would be best served with a Wiki (I like the 
MediaWiki personally). The system can generate static pages, and/or be 
front ended by a squid cache to keep the system running fast.

The magic of wiki's is there is no such thing as controlled access. 
Anyone who creates an account can modify content. This allows for the 
entire community to become involved with the site and the content on the 
system.

Just my $0.02.

[note: I think it is called bluefish, it's been a while since I looked]  [note 2: since "quanta" is installed on my system "by default / as part of KDE", it's about all I know of and I'll admit bias towards it, even if I don't know how to use it all that well yet... ;) ]
