Hello Kiran,<br><ol><li>I can work on OpenID login as an option if there is public demand, but we will have to keep the regular authentication as well since not everyone has a openid url.</li><li>Categories will start coming in the forum soon(Thats the Plan). We will need volunteers for ownership of the sections too. Would you like to volunteer for any particular section? </li>
<li>IRC for <a href="http://bangalore.pm.org">bangalore.pm.org</a>(will look at hosting that as well).</li><li>Calendar is on the cards too but not immidiately. basically I want to take on a poll in the forum before I activate some of these features. e.g.(Should we go with google calendar or some other solution.</li>
<li>link to perl sites, why not, I think this is simlar to the suggestions from suhas earlier.</li><li>rss, I think there is a feed at the forum as it it, site has a feed link too I just need to put it there. Twitter(and facebook) feeds yeah, I need to setup a channel for that.</li>
<li>For now this site is built on Joomla, which is a PHP based CMS, reason for this choice is flexiblity in adjusting to user demands on features quickly. For now I am a one man team in building this system. but I can definetly put the site on github if requested.</li>
</ol>The request list is fairly long now. I think I have my work cut out. Please continue the feedbacks so we can make this community a success. <br>Kiran, You have a beer in your account :)<br>Cheers,<br>-Shantanu <br><br>

Thanks for taking up this initiative. <br><br>Here are a few thoughts<br><br>1. Is it possible to use open ID for login instead of registering with a new userid/password.<br>2. In the forum have categories for Reviews (Books , Modules)<br>
3. IRC channel for <a href="http://bangalore.pm.org" target="_blank">bangalore.pm.org</a> ?<br>4. Calendar (google calendar ) integration to the website for up coming meetups.<br>5. Links to appropriate perl related sites (perl5wiki, perlmonks , cpan ...)<br>
6. RSS feed/Links for <a href="http://bangalore.pm" target="_blank">bangalore.pm</a> user blogs / Twitter feeds ?<br>7. Put the perl parts of this website on github if others want to contribute<br><br>-Kiran<div><div></div>

There is a country wide cleanup of mailing lists going on and it was noted that bangalore <a href="http://pm.org" target="_blank">pm.org</a> chapter while has a semi active mailing list, it doesn't have a website yet.
