I forgot to mention:  _Normally_, we add mention of the slides only 
as a news item on svlug-news.txt, which is then parsed by the PHP
interpreter to create the SVLUG News column on the site front page and
the cumulative news.php page.

How that works, generally, is covered in comment lines inside
svlug-news.txt.  And you can observe the syntax in existing news items
in that file.

If you have any question, ask.

I figure I should flesh out the _regular_ procedure (distinct from your
idea of also adding slides/talks/etc. links to entries in prevmeet.php), 
because I had said 'here's what we do' and pointed out the relatively
scant coverage of this matter on http://www.svlug.org/teams/web-team.php .

That is, the cited Web Team page _does_ describe how svlug-news.txt
works, but doesn't detail the bit about making directories under
www/prev to house slides, etc., nor about the lingering file ownership
problem.
