... SLUG Site, now I cant get past the front page  ...

On the Slug home page I see a row of menu items across the top: "Home | Events | Archives | Mailing Lists | Get the code!": http://www.slug.org.au/

Here is what happens when I select them:

* Home: takes me to the same page (as expected).
* Events: displays the text "SLUG Events", with a yellow rectangle below
it, but no actual events.
* Archives: displays the text "Welcome to nginx!" but no archives
* Mailing List: displays "Welcome to nginx!" but no mailing lists.
* Get the code!: takes me to GitHub with a repository of Slug stuff, but why?

Below these menu items it says "Sydney Linux User Group" and there is a paragraph describing the group (which makes sense).

Then below that it says "#sydlug @slugupdates both Loading tweets..." which does not make much sense. I assume these are the hastag, twitter address and a list of recent Tweets is then supposed to appear (but thankfully does not: who would want this?).

Next to that is "Previously at SLUG.... (more on YouTube) Enabled HTML5 Video!" with a video window underneath. I have video turned off by default so thankfully nothing plays (why would I want it to?).

Below that is "Attend the next meeting, Sponsor An event or SLUG as a whole, Give a talk Educate your fellows". Here is what I get when selecting each:

* ATTEND: "Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/base/data/home/runtimes/python/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/_webapp25.py", line 715, in __call__
    handler.get(*groups)
File "/base/data/home/apps/s~sydney-linux-user-group-hr/8.353599326443764872/events.py", line 26, in get
    self.redirect(event_lists.get_next_event().get_url())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_url'"

* SPONSOR: Creates an email with the address "commit...@slug.org.au&subject=Sponsoring SLUG". I assume "Sponsoring SLUG" is supposed to be in the subject line, but is not.

* GIVE A TALK: Opens a window asking for my Open Id to log into the Slug website, but why?

I suggest:

1. Replace the video and the twitter feed windows with hypertext links.
2. Delete "Get the code!"
3. Get the other menu options to work.

ps: I am using Firefox 40.0.3 for Linux.
