good point. I just realized today, I think I sent a submission awhile ago
and it never got posted. =(  the site could definately use some content
and traffic to make it look more alive -- at least guide people more to
the mailing list.  I felt the exact same way when I first came to OLUG...
"there's a mailing list?" 

There used to be from time to time even full howto articles and such
posted, contributed by members of the group.
