That I can do. The user-interface should be a standard web UI of a LUG or Linux portal. For the first incarnation I plan most changes to have to be made either using database queries, or by editing the sources of the repositories. I may add some admin screens later on, but it won't be a hard priority. > 2.

It's /IGLU and now /IGLU/index.php. I will probably keep them for the PostNuke system. But the root directory - http://www.iglu.org.il/ will now be the main site. > And the apache config has too many overrides > of the cgi-bin dir. That's not a problem. Apache configurations are expected to have stuff like Aliases, ScriptAliases, etc. It's perfectly natural. As an example consider a directory that has the files "myscript.pl" and "MyConfig.pm" and "password.txt". Now, you don't want people to access MyConfig.pm, much less want them to access "password.txt". So what you do is set a ScriptAlias (or a different mod_perlified alias) pointing to "myscript.pl" (preferably with a nice URL), and then you are safe. > > 4. Good idea!

The clubs have some RSS feeds for their events, which I can use. We may wish to switch to our own custom XML format, because we have relatively bastarised RSS in this case. But I also plan www.iglu.org.il to be a general portal (in English) about GNU/Linux and FOSS in Israel, and a usable way to access the other resources on the site.
