I've been playing with Django as well and I agree it would be a great
framework for our website. The plus is it comes with an administrative
backend for free.
I can't make it tonight but I'd be willing to discuss by email and help
to some degree. You can make a lot of progress quickly with Django. I
recently started building a club website and got the design, event
calendar, and newsletter PDF upload built in about 4 hours. I was excited.
It would be great to possibly set up Trac and allow commits from a group
of us that get tagged and published to the site occasionally.

could be at the CRRC.
This habit of deciding where the meetings are at the last minute gives
us the worst of both worlds. We don't have a known rendezvous point,
and we don't have a known time or schedule.
I've been tinkering with Django http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/
and think it could form a good basis for doing many of the things we
want to do with the site. But I'm open to other possibilities.
Whatever toolset we use though we need a strong core of people who are
willing to commit to between 10-16 hours each to revamping the site,
and to the ongoing maintenance of the site which has always been where
we fell down before.
Suggested Goals for tonight:
1. everyone willing to commit gets a login on tux.
(this offer does not apply to people just showing up tonight, we have
to know you)
2. Rough guide to requirements and first cut work breakdown.
