For the InternetServer project, we should have some explict goals. What are we trying to accomplish? What *aren't* we trying to accomplish? See also ServerToDo for a list of things to do. ---++ Goals There are things we want this server to be used for. * Front page for people searching for a LUG * Providing information on who we are, what we do, how to participate * Nice to have: a calendar easy to post and query, RSS or iCal/vCal * Becoming a long-term repository of what we have done * Bragging rights about past meetings * Link to resources we have discovered or presented ---++ Anti-Goals There are things we *do not* want this server to be used for. ---++ Discussion Determining what we are NOT trying to accomplish: * NOT becoming another "destination" place on line * NOT a high-interactivity forum * NOT a high-maintenance site -- Main.TedRoche - 08 Feb 2006 Ted, I'm a bit unclear on where you are aiming here. What do you mean by "high-interactivity forum", etc. I think we're actually in agreement, but I'm not sure. Let me explain where I'm coming from: I don't think GNHLUG should try to create the next Slashdot, nor do I think we should try to duplicate the work of The Linux Documentation Project, nor be a directory of software a la Freshmeat. There is plenty of general information on Linux/FOSS out there. We don't need to duplicate it. What I *am* interested in are two things. First is providing infrastructure (where have I heard that before ;-) ) that can aide the LUG in operations. For example, a calendar/scheduler that can mail meeting notices. Better list archives is another big item on my list. The other is hosting content unique to GNHLUG. There might be a hundred-and-one software directories, but they might lack a lot of the very useful info given in someone's presentation. If we can get *that* onto the web, that's not a "me too" thing, but useful, unique content. -- Main.BenScott - 08 Feb 2006
