Very good points, some of which are already in progress.

I agree whole heartedly.  In the PHP/MySQL version I have worked on.  
There is a division between meeting and event.  An event is anything 
that is not a meeting, that includes installfests.  Right now the test 
version's home page lists the prior 3 months of announcements.  The 
seperated out pages will do something similar so you are not bombarded 
by listings.

That may very well be a better title.  Look to see it changed :)

I am unhappy with the Resources section and have been debating how best 
to set it up.  Any thoughts?

Yet again another excellent point.  The steering committee is very 
interested in everything that is desired of the webpage and elsewhere.  
I want to apologize for not having the new web page set up yet.  Things 
were going well and I was into the final cleanup and modifications, 
security concerns and I have had some personal emergencies pull me away 
from the work I was doing.  I have not had time to get back into it, but 
hope to soon.  For what it's worth I was hoping for this to be set up 
before January's meeting, but that has not transpired.
