Anyway these are just some suggestions please tell me what you think. I just believe we need more content running through the page with links to projects we are actually working on so community members can easily find out what is going on and how they can help out within the loco. Cheers. Feel free to remove the 'Ubuntu for Not-for-profit' references, unless they can be moved to an 'archive page'. I have been quiet up to now, but I would love to see more relevant (and interesting) information posted to this page.

Cheers. I agree with the idea of updating the Projects page. I plan to work on creating a BugJam wiki page with info for Ubuntu-AU BugJams that can be linked to from the Projects page. I believe we need some feedback on the layout of this page, so I will wait until we discuss this idea further before I modify the Projects page. Does anyone else have any thoughts or ideas on what we should do to revamp the Projects wiki page? -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJL8+oIAAoJENegJk0fbKNMGAsH/RO5utc2DRWyVRkZTp/JljAa 9c0VumQ7bTc5NyXwCtJ0KqR0Oyck15/3hrDQSMnSDFmtidxnd0Qu/UHWa80LY5wX 1hIz2TJeH4S+jnGN1eyM/GktUcuQFM/jvtU7gLNUZJ31SV4Wg5okHsS4g2EoaiXE SmSh2Jq2bmjiJrQ9VYH+5Zy4UH1E0mUxHLaNS6Vo/SU88XOUr+is7fMu7RuAtBzk Rv+hToJo+GK+npHz7bd6WqMcboKbkmkPevmhhFfsO0plcWDuSn8wOC5PAJmFtbNp msJHftPGeNhKqtlnVRvBq9V7IT36rg5nyZ6K//KIX2zAPTaKiUOdODgXh6Tcwy4= =NxzT -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

To make it easier to keep up to date without having to go through and keep this up to date at a later date I think the actual project page should really just be a list of links to subpages. That way when a project gets completed and then no longer relevant it is easier to just move the subpage to the /archives and remove the link of the projects page. I feel this method will make it much easier to keep things looking up-to-date without having to go and rewrite large amounts of texts on a page each time a project gets completed. This is just a suggestion obviously but if you can think of something better by all means. This method will just require someone (if I get time I'll have a crack at it) rewriting the page into headings and links to current projects.
