[Wplug-web] website suggestion

[Robert Dale]

- Change "Linux Resources" on the navigation bar to "Resources"
  -  Change "Pennsylvania LUGS" to "Other LUGs"
    -  Remove the defunt PittLUG listing
    -  Remove the other LUG listings
    -  Leave the linux.com lug search there
  -  New section called "Other Pittsburgh User Groups/Functions"
    - Add PittJUG - http://www.pittjug.org - Java User Group
    - Add PittMark - http://www.pittmark.org - XML User Group
    - Add Pittsburgh SAGE - http://www.pghsage.org - Sys Admin Guild
    - Add Geek Night - http://www.pghgeeks.org - High-Tech Social Gathering

- Left-hand Bar
  - I think this should be fixed-width
  - Change "MeetingInfo" to "Meeting Info"
  - Use abbreviations for locations - the text is too long and squishes
    the main page.  If they need to know what these TLAs are, they can
    read the full text of an announcement.
    - Change "Carnegie Mellon" to "CMU"
    - Change "Newel-Simon Hall" to "NSH"
    - Change "Room" to "Rm."
  - Change format of Meeting Info - it's too lengthy

    Next GUM
      When: <date>
      Time: <time>
      Where: <location>
      More Info! - link to latest announcement

    Next Installfest
      When: <date>
      Time: <time>
      Where: <location>
      More Info! - link to latest announcement

  -  Use someone's suggestion of removing the admin access form and making
     it hidden

- Ditch the Mailing Lists box at the bottom of each page
- Make a new footer
  - webmaster email address?
  - link to feedback form?
- Change "Mail Archives" to "Mailing Lists"
  - The paragraph on the Mail Archives page should read:

     To subscribe to a list, change your subscription preferences, or
     read the archives, click on a list name below.

  - Change the "Mail Archives" page so that those archive links now point
    to the main mailman page for the corresponding list.
  - Leave the Pre-November links there.
  - Remove the "backlogs" link
    - or fix it, but i have no idea where that's supposed to go

What do you guys think of these changes?

I am willing to do all or some of this if someone points me to the right
place to do it.
