whomever has time can do all that work ... i consider it useless
work since upon shutdown or power failure, most all of the info
is lost and you have to build it again ... or scriptize the new
virtual host to power up correctly

of coourse ... 

> community:  Hey, SVLUG Prez, we want XYZ

community voted that svlug.org belongs in its own names
and registration at svlug.org is its email contact info is assumed

until this is fixed, it is your democratically elected duty to
make that change as someone that can make it happen for the community

see above

svlug policy does NOT disappear or change or can be ignored

and now those killed off are all gone ... that have been around
since day 1 of svlug .. most of them left in the past year

nobody cares how its "asked"

everybody cares that nothing gets done ... all volunteer efforts
are "shit canned"

yeah...  you can and did the kernel thing ... but thats you doing the stuff
and not many volunteer contributions

	- i probably should go look at the wiki, but i'm just making
	a dumb statement and dumb assumption
