Hi,

 => a) the site is frame based :(  Hopefully Arun will change that?

	The pages I'm working on are optimized for lynx.
	
 => b) forgotten to mention stickers and decals in the minutes of the

	Not much I can do about that ! :).

 => c) The older minutes are not yet up.
	
	They will be. Soon.

shouldn't we include technical information in the FAQ ? I, for one,
am against it.  For one thing, we'd be duplicating work that has been
done competently before (Linux HOWTOs and FAQs). And then, once we start
answering questions of such specific nature, the FAQ will bloat. It'd be
much easier to maintain too if we were to restrict entries to those
relevant to the group, the meetings, activities and the mailing list.

Ah yes , I remember I was ftping wircd files into grex to compile them under
gcc ... ;) ...

will do .

What I'm saying here is that ... XIRC network has 3 different servers at
their disposal ... the part where I am saying IRC + is a very very easy
server ... is to emphasise that they *MIGHT* shift to using that since admin
work on that will be a breeze.

I _hate_ "me too"-ing, but since you ask for a consensus... lets keep _all_ 
tech questions off the faq. If there a specific need we could have a page 
to deal with tech issues that have not been covered elsewhere, or are of a 
specific nature, and would be 
useful to have handy (the Yamaha soundcards, SiS VGA cards come to mind). 
While this has been documented, because of the large number of users who 
have these configurations it might make sense to add this and related info 
to 
the site. As for other technical questions of a more general nature I think 
we should let IRC/ICQ/mailing lists fix it...

If there are any Madras-specific Linux resources we could mention them, but 
afaik, none exist (how abt 'Lateral' for training?, or would that 
constitute bias?)

Just my 1.8 cents (I'm stingy)
