the website is in need of some love
I'm not sure who maintains it, but it's in a very sad state at the moment. Cheers, Jeff
Would be cool to do it over in Drupal. NOT JOOMLA (should be called 'piece of crap please give up already!')! All you need is a blog post system (built-in) to write about events, and add custom fields like time if you want, etc etc. From a design stand point, there is no reason to use images for the textual links, especially obviously compressed JPEGs.

Congratulations! You've just been volunteered to enhance it! :-) But hey, at least it validates now. Seriously though, if anyone would like to help, feel free to email me. There was a time when I was playing with Moin for a wiki site but that fell by the wayside. I really need to rebuild the system that the web server is running on, so I could deploy something new/better if there was someone who would commit to helping maintain it. I just don't have the time to do anything fancy, learn new web frameworks, etc. Alternatively, people could submit some designs, code, and content that uses plain HTML/CSS and I could maintain that manually.
Yeah, I agree the site needs an overhaul.
However, what does the website need to minimally do?
* - Meeting Information
* - Mailing List sign up
* - Past Meeting info
* - IRC channel info
We've kicked around the idea of a wiki, which I'd be totally cool with and
I'd help maintain.
My personal opinion is that between the IRC channel, Dr. Google and the
mailing list, a forum is overkill.
