You're probably one of the better people to be steering this and I
commend you for it.  Many of the people here have been saturated in
Linux for awhile and have perhaps lost the newbie perspective.  While
the seasoned old gurus here can probably answer questions effectively,
we don't necessarily know the right questions to ask.  Or we won't
recognize that we're using overly technical terminology when answering.

Any web site changes can be proposed to steering at trilug.org.  We haven't
yet met to determine who is doing what within the SC but that email
address is the best way to contact the SC to suggest changes.

The best way to get anything done in a volunteer organization is to do
it.  :-)
