What to do with all of these links

[Jacob Hurley]

Yes, I think that is a great idea, it doesn't mean that the mailing list
will die or anything, but a nice message board would be cool too.  I
have some experience with CMS's, and am currently running a modded
version of YaBB (yet another bulletin board).  I have messed with
phpnuke some, but the reason I really liked YaBB is because it can
easily be modded with this really cool tool called 'boardmod' which is
an ongoing sideproject of YaBB.  With boardmod I was able to tailor my
site to my likings, I set it up with a chat server (though I still
prefer cgi:irc), allowed attachments to postings, only registered users
can browse the forum, only the admin can register new users,
polls/voting (of course), and I run it over ssl for me and my friends to
share.. ..stuff ;)

If this is of interest to anyone (not necessarily yabb, but any type of
CMS) I would be more than happy to contribute also, though I would just
need an ssh account setup (come on seth, scp or portfowarding is all ya
need)  ;)

And once my work schedule gets rotated back to days (and a meeting
happens over that two week period) I will enjoy meeting some of you's in
person.

Cya,

Just want to point out that both varieties of Nuke (Post- and Php-) are
well-supported with large user-bases and active community forums. Plus,
one
of our own (think iLUG) is an experienced Php-Nuke admin.

I dabble in Post-Nuke myself. If the group is interested and someone can
give me FTP, SSH and MySQL rights to the KCLUG webspace, I can set a
Post-Nuke CMS up in a matter of hours. I'm sure Php-Nuke (and other
CMS's)
can go up just as easily.

The point is that it would be easy to set it up then see what we think
about
it.

This is still the case.  There's a reason that VA has multiple coders
working on Slash full time -- it would collapse otherwise.
