[olug] OLUG update & November presentation

[Bob McCoy]

Brian, they're not demands, just observations.  And what seem to have
been missed is that the meeting info page shouldn't necessarily be
geared toward people who are there every month or who's aware that it's
been "discussed to great extent in the list archives".  No.  It should
be geared toward the person who's never been to a meeting, a newby,
someone who doesn't even know there's a list archive.  We should make it
as easy as possible to find this information.

So Kudos!  Creating a link on the home page and bolding it was a great
idea.  And Tim's adding a "When is the meeting?" question on the meeting
info page puts all info in one easy (not endlessly scrollable) to read
(even printable if necessary) page.

One link, two additional lines.  It's better.  Good job Brian and Tim.

Bob

Bob.... Chill out.

If you really got that much info out of my one liner reply,
you are obviously looking for something to complain about....

Yes, I did just add it, I figured that was apparent.... Seeing how we
discuss meetings ALL the time on the list. It has come 
up on the list more than once, that it is not very easily found on the
websote. That is why I jumped up and added it to the mai menu. 
I will redo the FAQ tonight to meet your *demands* 


And for future reference, suggestion's *ARE* appreciated, demands are
not welcome.
