At one point we had a logo contest, but I don't know if those images survived
(I had major server issues back in January). Certainly I could work on the
look of the site, though.

If the forum takes off, I can add a link to it on the wiki main page.

That can be fixed.

Right. More than half the content is mine. Mischa pitched in and added stuff,
but he's gone. If people want to add more content, they're free to.

What you need to understand is that for the most part if anything got done in
recent years, one of the very small core group did it. I have been waiting
for random members to get interested in NOLUG again since the storm. I'm not
very interested in dragging people anymore... if they want to get involved,
great, that's what I want them to do, but one leader by himself does not a
LUG make.

Several folks have decided to get more involved, and that's great. I'm going
to address that at our meeting this month.

Thanks for your enthusiasm :-)
