Maybe a "contributionsi/thank you" sub-section.
	Thanks Gary for his hard work during the inception of plug
	Thanks Linux Aus. for hosting the domain and supporting plug
	Thanks Matt for spark :)
	Thanks Matt for running the mailing list
	Thanks WASP for bandwidth
	etc etc etc

Also ... and this may be a bad Idea. we could have a list of Linux (un)friendly
ISP's  we'd have to be carefull what we said BUT I think some people would
like a ISP that doesn;t hear Linux and hang-up the phone.

We are incorporated.  We did it so PLUG can hold property and accept
donations, monetary (sp?) or hardware.

I think some stuff on the committee would be usefull.  Who are the curerent
office holders and how to get in touch with them.

Maybe in the "tech" section we could have a sub-section for some of the
"major" apps that get used. It would make things easier to find IMO.
samba, "printing"

You could also, if you wanted and others where willing.  Deletagte
respnsibility for some of the subsections to other members.


Yours Tony.
