If you have a fatalpha account, you can create a public_html directory
and do all that yourself.

http://www.trilug.org/~alchemist/ for example *grin*

As we don't currently have that info in the membership database, it's
kind of tough. What I've been hoping to build is a "member tool" to
extend the exising membership database to do the following :

Update your contact info
Links to Change your mailman setup(s)
Update a publicly viewable member registry

Ooh. A volunteer. That's what, two? Three? 

Would this be something to do as part of the hosting project? If so, we
can get started on it soon, but probably aught to move the technical
discussion over to that list? 

Hmm. We'd need a shared dev env (probably cvs for now) to work on it,
and a test url (I think we cna do that easy) to work with, right? *grin*
