Ironically I believe Paul and Jacinta were maintaining it :-) but yes  
it is too much work without a wiki.

A radical suggestion - Can we possibly run melbourne.pm.org on the  
same server as perl.net.au ?

Yes. Melbourne.pm.org should be separate from perl.net.au - but it  
may be able to share. So when I say separate I think the URL should  
be separate and have its own wiki, but maybe we can still work on it  
together.

Microsoft is not the answer. It's the question. And the answer is no.
