I can't design for toffee, but I do have a content management system
(CMS) I'm willing to let the group use for this, and maybe even help
develop, lord knows it needs it in some areas!

The content management system is Under the GPL (I just haven't written
the license out for it yet!) and, at the moment, the articles are under
the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL see
www.truthisfreedom.org.uk/gfdl.php for a copy).  I came across a site
that had some great ways of copywriting your work, I'll see if I can
find it again, it might have a fairly water tight legal version of what
we're after.

The CMS uses xhtml 1.0 strict, and all formatting is done with
Stylesheets, so it will be very easy to customise.  It runs on PHP and
MySQL, preferably with LibGD installed.

In the short term, is it worth setting up a yahoo-group or similar to
talk about this instead of flooding the main list?  If so, does anyone
have a mailman box they're willing to let us use?

Good idea, Good plan, good start!

Matt
