Aaron Burt has volunteered to work with Wil Cooley (who hosts the site) to finish setting up the moinmoin wiki, and make the front page of the wiki the front page of pdxlinux.org . After that happens, "we" can get that up to date if everybody pitches in to clean up spam, keep meeting notices current, and add content to the other pages. When that happy day arrives, I hope you will be one of the "we". In the interim, I hope we can have a fruitful discussion on the list about how we would treat the wiki, what would be out of bounds, etc. Some are skeptical about the value of a wiki, and whether it will turn into a dumping ground for off-topic church or political announcements, or even semi-on-topic arguments like distro or editor wars.. If we want the privilege of keeping the site up to date, we should agree on how to treat the site and each other. Another way to contribute, that will help when the time comes, is to design a set of text captcha question/answer pairs to foil spam robots. Two examples: my own moinmoin wikis ask questions about generally known time and space questions, like "how many seconds in an hour". Michael Rassmussen's wiki asks "when is a good time to ride a bicycle"; his right answer is an opinion somewhat broader than mine. Within that range is a set of questions that will foil a non-context-parsing robot, but will be answerable by most somewhat literate english speakers.
