+1 on this too. I believe we cannot 'leave the technology' alone. After all,
this is a technical forum, so that topic should be open for discussion. A
lot members have asked a laundry list of services. Can we prioritize them
and put a date of release (even an approximate one, so that we won't go
through the blame game again) on each of them?

I believe this would be ideal:

1. The site with static pages, with code available as an svn repo on a
google code project.
2. Use the issue tracker that comes along with it to prioritize the
features.
3. Give deploy access to a few members, and commit access to any member who
specifically requests for it. The deployers will have the responsibility to
accept patches/commits and push them live.
4. Ask for people who are ready to do this in various roles.

For things like planet, jobs board, we can have a virtual host setup on the
same server, so it goes like this, ideally:

www.ilugc.in -> static pages deployed off a svn repo
planet.ilugc.in -> the planet software running on an apache vhost
jobs.ilugc.in -> an open source jobs tracker (jobberbase?)

And so on so forth. Any problem with that?

Vamsee.
