It does not need hours of work, what is needed is useful / upto date info, on the site. think of how a non member sees the current site, if done right we can attract new members or new raspberry pi et - al users to the site, looking for help or to share info. we can promote lug meets to a whole new potential user base. hence there is a section on there for ardino, i want to try and reach out to more wide base without ending up being a windows user group if at all possible, we are not a windows group, we can help with free software on windows, getting windows to talk to free software (samba for example). paul -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
