wow, ideas are pouring in..grrt php-nuke is agood idea (AFAIK, the delhi lug is using it and has generated quite a warm response, and linux india is considering to switch over to it) the contact idea is a good one, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and i'm ready to be the volunteer for this...i check my mails reguilarly, so it won't be a prob. about the abt us section, agreed, however, we can add a what is linux section...we need to let ppl know.. but to do all these, we need to setup a team at first, with the team members specifying their skills (graphics, writing, html, scripting, php, blah blah) and also we need indra-da's opinion first.. cheers sayamindu
