The site is already running WordPress, so all the of features you mention are already available. If P2 is a theme, then it could be installed. Are members of the group interested in participating in a conversation on uphpuorg such as the P2 WP theme provides? Of the hundreds of members that we have, only a small portion participate socially (IRC, meetings, after-parties). Do we really need another medium for communication or would it be better to just make it easier to sign up and post to the mailing list (big form, right on home page) and chat in the channel (web-based, right on home page)?

Using the P2 theme - demo http://p2demo.wordpress.com/ - might encourage more posting. Great idea Joseph and i think that template is awesome! I think shifting to wordpress.com would REALLY open some new doors for uphpu. * ability to delegate to uphpu community members to manage categories that they are personally interested in * ability to have the community to post articles / comments to the UPHPU website * and as you say the template itself encourages quick comments / posts I think another part of the cause of the disuse of the website is that it's really abstracted away from the uphpu individual. there is no way for them to get involved in helping to keep it up-to-date and take a personal interest. a step in this direction makes a lot of sense. Of course, these are just suggestions, yield to the community, macnewbold et al., to decide mj/v _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
