Do we even have an appropriate use policy?
Not formally. We have a notice on each page saying All content is
Copyright © 1999-2006 by, and the property of, the contributing
authors. which should pretty much mean that no one has the right to
re-use the materials in bulk for anything, since getting every
author's permission is problemmatic at best. Fair use is still
permitted of course.
We also have http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Organizational/

I thought the LinuxWorld.com effort was pretty mis-directed, as our
current site is a repository of that which has gone before, a
calendar of upcoming events and miscellaneous projects and notes. I
don't consider it a destination site for news, and think parrotting
the news from any other party would not be providing any service to
our members or the community. If anyone feels differently and would
like to pursue this opportunity they ought to feel free, with the
understanding that they'll need some sort of (hands-waving) consensus
before committing to anything.
