[Melbourne-pm] Wikification of melbourne.pm.org?

[Guy Morton]

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.

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? ;-)
