The proposed Web site design is un-semantic and rigid. More indicative of a burgeoning business than a club devoted to an alternative OS. I agree with Hal's remarks. I, also, agree with Jason's remarks, and I like Brian's suggestion to make the site more accessible to the handicapped. Club members use the mailing list. The Web sites major function is to introduce the general public to local linux resources -- like the meeting, and, yes, you guys! I suggest, a friendly and inviting look and feel. Let's be leaders and teach Web standards by example.

The new site and the old site are great to me. I would like to help in anyway further enhancing the site for the under privileged. Maybe like other ppl have said just make the old site better, add the links to irc, how to for irc. A possible wiki link? and add stuff to that, have the join mail list link on the front page, which makes it easier and faster to get to. I think the wiki would be very good to use, but it looks like I'm the only one that has posted anything to it.

Would someone please tell me what "semantic" means to the people who write to the kclug list? It does not appear to mean what I thought it meant.

The idea is to add more features. The plan is still pretty free-form and open if you ask me. Steven(Tallen) just asked for some space on the server and a login and said he would report back when he had something. That was one of the objectives of the new server anyway; added feature set, flexibility, speed, local control, take advantage of free hosting that Walt offered, more user input, etc. If you want to try your hand at building something or have constructive input (or even playful nit-picking), contact tallen via IRC or email on the current project or contact Hal (hald) or Chris Bier (Cymor) for your own project space.
This was just a pilot project, so to speak.
