If there is a problem (as there often is) with getting enough content
to keep one web site fresh, it doesn't make sense to then try and
maintain TWO sites. <br>
<br>
The way the Sydney site redirects is cute, as you say - damn those
flamboyant Sydney-siders! Maybe we could redirect visitors with a
random perl haiku? ;-)<br>

Yet another content management system. We used to have a dynamic site until
pm.org got hacked one too many times and they decided to host static web pages only.

Doesnt it look better for Melbourne Perl Mongers to have their own site?

I really can't imagine it looking bad for Melbourne.pm.org to redirect to
anywhere else, but that might just be me.

Scott, Paul and I are the Melbourne.pm.org maintainers. I wrote the current
content mid last year after I got sick of no content at all (due to the pm.org
issues). I'd be *delighted* to add more content if anyone wants to volunteer
any. I'd even be willing to write further content on various topics if anyone
indicates that they *want* it.
Of course one of the big joys of having a wiki is that I don't have to be
involved, you can all just add content as you go. You'll see that I've been
keeping a meeting history. Feel free to add to it.

<pre wrap="">Me too. :-) If everyone thinks that the best way for that is the
redirect to the Melbourne_Perl_Mongers page then so be it. But I like
the idea of a separate web site more.

Realising that we'd keep the Melbourne.pm.org domain, and it would just redirect
(possibly after doing something cute in the same way that <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sydney.pm.org">http://sydney.pm.org</a>
does):
* why do you like the idea of a separate website more?
* what would you like to appear on that separate website?
All the best,
Jacinta
