I've pre-emptively registered a "tclug" account, which I'll be happy to share with/hand off to responsible parties. While "Web 2.0" technologies (to abuse a buzzword) are all fine and good, I agree that we do need to evaluate whether there's sufficient reason for us to maintain our own environment, particularly with the babysitting they require (security, breakage, etc). For my part, I'll likely go with whatever the TCLUG Powers That Be think is best. Jima (tclug.org DNS BOFH)
