Here's the last-minute addenda that I had handed to Lisa at our dinner,
last night:
o Sysadmins should be aware of (and use) /CHANGELOG (checked into RCS)
on svlug.svlug.org (legacy host), a dated, initialed log of all significant
system changes.
o W3C validation: Aim for HTML 4.01 Transitional. Nice if we can use CSS
in lieu of tables. (Moin migration accomplishes this.)
o Make sure we consistently ALT-tag images, and are otherwise friendly to
the vision-impaired.
o We need to either lose the MBone page entirely, or (perhaps better)
properly mark it as historical-only. Two posts from Chris Verges,
the substance of which should probably be put into the page:
http://lists.svlug.org/lists/private/volunteers-old/2005q4/000620.html
http://lists.svlug.org/lists/private/volunteers-old/2005q4/000624.html
o Possible future member service: J. Paul Reed's "profiles" idea at CPLUG:
http://www.cplug.org/profiles/ (Can be accomodated by MoinMoin.
And hey, I have a Moin sandbox, too: http://linuxmafia.com/MyWiki/)
o Example of collective memory notes (to wikify): After-meeting venues
include
Denny's, Mathilda/101 (24 hr)
New China Delight, Castro, to midnight
Frankie, Johnny and Luigi, Too, El Camino Real s. of Castro.
Dana Street Roasting Company, Dana St. off Castro, closes 10pm, 11pm Fridays.
Quoting Lisa Corsetti (svlug at flygirl.com):

Accounts duly created on svlug.svlug.org (legacy host), and added to
group webslave:
"tim" = Tim Utschig
"rouma" = Denise Rand
"crh" = Christian Huebner
(Tim, please let me know if you'd prefer a different username. Your
note had just your fullname and a string below it that I interpreted as
your initial requested password.)
I'm well aware that not enough of us yet have accounts on gruyere
(Linode) or brie: We'll fix that, soonish. Also, we'll have to make
sure everyone needing root (or sudo) on our various hosts has it.
New members of the Web Team, welcome indeed! Please at your conveniece
browse through http://www.svlug.org/teams/web-team.php . (That's pretty
much the only Web Team briefing *I* ever had, so I'm guessing it's
reasonably useful.)

Requested via Micah Dowty.
Not a complaint, but over the long term this sort of discussion is best
suited for web-team at lists.svlug.org (which for now must be reached by
writing to webmaster at svlug.org, because of an /etc/mail/aliases / MTA
glitch).
