Hi Tim

> what's the overall plan?

With the website, there are a few things brewing in the back of my mind at the 
moment, but shoring up the organisation's ownership and the contribution 
process is the first step. The next things that I'm thinking about revolve 
around changing the deploy workflow such that it requires less git-fu and 
behaves a little bit more how people have come to expect. The design and page 
organisation could use some love, too, but it's getting the job done for the 
moment.

That's part of the problem at the moment :) Rails-oceania != Ruby Australia. 
The organisations are not the same; one exists as a formal entity, with formal 
direction and the responsibility that goes with those things, while the other 
is much more fluid and has a whole lot of history from when it was just a few 
dudes wanting to hack on Rails. While this is a gross generalisation of both 
organisations, and there is massive crossover in the membership, the contrast 
is reasonably accurate.

The website will continue to be driven by many people - especially the people 
who work hard to run meet ups every month. This should be relatively painless 
to do via pull requests - gone are the days where you needed the "commit bit" 
to make a meaningful contribution to something.

Cheers
David
