<P> I like this idea. I have a few questions though ...
<P>1a) Is there a list of who is in the group (A=Active, B=inactive, C=Casual), 1b) perhaps with a list of what distributions [Red Hat, Suse, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, MSC, others?] they are familliar with and 1c) the level (1=newbie/student, 3=casual/user, 5=seasoned/teacher)
<P>2) A list of the current hardware they have - processor, soundcard, video, monitor, mouse, other (joysticks, trackballs, VR equipment, tv tuners, fax setups etc.)
<P>3) A list of what that person would like to know more about.
<P>This way we could match those who know with those who want to, and in the case where there is overwhelming interest then that could be a topic for a group meeting.
<P>What do you think? This could be a simple table grid page on the website for folks to look up...
