[Tfug] tfug.org question

[Benjamin Krein]

Why not something like Drupal or another CMS for user-contributed 
articles, photos, etc.? I think that would be a great idea. While I 
don't miss Tucson, I miss TFUG (coffee hours & friends) and would be 
happy to contribute from time to time.

PS Don't forget #tfug on irc.freenode.net for a thoroughly useless waste 
of time :)
