Ian has agreed to assist with the migration of Drupal, aspects of which touch on SAC. I don't think it would be all that helpful for Ian to struggle with whether there ought to be a webcom, or if it is a SAC issue or a marketting committee issue. It is hopefully just about migrating Drupal and possibly doing some updates to the web site - particularly as needed to make things work with a newer drupal. That said, I'm non-plussed by this idea of "closed" discussions and use of some thing called basecamp. Ian - why are closed discussions valuable other than the need to be protective of a few passwords?
