For me I would say about 95 percent of them, including a stack of tutorials. I know Tom Brough posted some pages on various sorting methods and some other stuff. I try and keep the lug up to date via the site on interesting articles found or when it is for example software freedom day. > > and > > What were the barriers to creating that content? I found word press pretty easy to use, it takes getting used to, but once you know how to add posts / pages and interlink them it is fine. > What were the barriers to publishing the content? Like with everything it takes time to pick up the basics and go from there. > Do you also have your own blog space etc? Yes, running word press, that Gordon is hosting, so a big thank you again to Gordon for hosting. It would be nice to have more of a balance with different people posting content, but I appreciate people are also busy and don't have time. I found drupal harder to use, the old site got seriously out of date because of it, before that we had a wiki which was actually for me easier. If we could have more lug meets then perhaps we could arrange sessions where someone could teach others how to do things. but that takes time, resources and the right people being available and given the geography of he region makes it difficult. I am getting feedback off list Dan R would like to help and Neil Winchurst who runs the North devon meet would like access, so if we run word press, or settle on that, we are not short on people who can help or are willing to log in and add content, and share the load a little. So that is a positive step, having a team of people who want to help. I think here we need two teams, 1 back end server team, and a content team which we have people willing to do. just a thought.
