[Detroit-pm] Getting website back in order...

[vansycke at gdls.com]

I'd like to see our first priority getting an up to date (static if 
necessary) page detailing the fact we're here and how to find us.

After this a wiki sounds fine but like Todd, I don't join on line 
communities.

I don't think requiring people to join a social networking site to 
participate is a good idea. I am a reluctant participant in Facebook and 
will not be joining any other sites. One is more than enough! :P

I agree - a wiki/group site would be nice...

I was thinking it would be a good idea to still have our static website 
for general information purposes and then link to a wiki/group site. Could 
we use something as simple as Facebook or LinkedIn for this?  Not sure how 
everyone feels about using these sites - where FB is more social and LI is 
more professional...

I looked into FB groups and created a Detroit Perl Mongers group - to see 
what is possible:
Events
Simple discussion board
FB wall
Photo
videos
Post links

I am use some other groups in LinkedIn - but prefer the FB UI to the LI 
UI...

Any other ideas/thoughts???

All,

I really think a wiki will provide the easiest way to get increased 
participation. Here is one wiki service we could use for free: 
http://pbwiki.com/personal.wiki.

Anyone know of other free wikis?

Hi all - I put in a request to get the website back under pm.org 
management and they are working on it.   They do not offer any scripting 
possibilities for the site - just static content.  This should be OK for 
us since all we need up there is some meeting announcements, 
presentations, links, code/scripts and any other useful stuff....

If anyone who has presented in the past has presentations in any format - 
PPT, DOC, PDF, TEXT, etc...  Please email them to me with the date (approx 
if you forgot) and I will get them up on the site.

Moving forward - once the DNS is setup  - if anyone wants to post anything 
- just let me know and email me the content and I can push it up there 
pretty easily.  We have to use WebDAV to upload any files...

Please let me know if you have any ideas or questions - Thanks...
