That sounds to me, like rewriting the current website. I believe that Christian
does not want to do that.

Perhaps Ian Kent could say something here, about the status of the website, etc.
(and, whether he has got anyone to work on updating the website?)

Otherwise, Christian ends up reinventing the plug wheel, and I am not sure that
he wants to spend the time do that, given that the website already exists.

Just out of interest, I have just tried visiting the PLUG website; I tried
http://plug.linux.org.au and http://www.plug.linux.org.au, and I get nothing.
