<br><font size=3>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<br>

<br>
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...<br>
<br>
I looked into FB groups and created a Detroit Perl Mongers group - to see
what is possible:</font>
<ul>
<li><font size=3>Events</font>
<li><font size=3>Simple discussion board</font>
<li><font size=3>FB wall</font>
<li><font size=3>Photo</font>
<li><font size=3>videos</font>
<li><font size=3>Post links</font></ul><font size=3><br>
I am use some other groups in LinkedIn - but prefer the FB UI to the LI
UI...<br>
<br>
Any other ideas/thoughts???</font>

I really think a wiki will provide the easiest way to get increased participation.
Here is one wiki service we could use for free: </font><a href=http://pbwiki.com/personal.wiki target=_blank><font size=3 color=blue><u>http://pbwiki.com/personal.wiki</u></font></a><font size=3>.<br>
<br>
Anyone know of other free wikis?<br>

<br><font size=3>Hi all - I put in a request to get the website back under

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