IMVHO, we could put everything about ILUGC on a single page and it wouldn't 
overflow on a 640x480 resolution. hmm... Ok, 800x600. But seriously, why 
not have different sections, or atleast links to where more information can 
be found? Every week somebody or the other does stand up and say how 
Linux has helped them in their org/env. Why don't we add that stuff to the 
pages? (except the instances where us admins sneakily replaced our NT 
servers(?) with Linux boxen, we need our jobs :) )

What kind of ilugc links can we provide? ok to have a general links 
page?

Can we send you the links direct, we could all proabably use a common 
subject so you can sort it. Is that what you mean? I think the site will 
reflect ilugc as it grows...

>>The sites which one feels every new Linux/free software user
>>should be familiar with.
And how does it harm the newbie to know more? How about the last  link be 
"More links" and off to another page with all the other links.

Then you'd have to accumulate it to multiples of five to make contribs :) 
offtopic can anybody enlighten me as to why "two" cents? why not five, or 
ten, or whatever?

And will definitely land you in the clinker at first touch :) For the 
uninitiated, Public Domain != Free. You'll find this on almost every 
public domain s/w
