This has been a sticking point for the group for as long as I can 
remember. Numerous times in the past we have kicked around ideas on 
things to do but no one has really stepped up to own the project. I'm 
not laying any blame as I know people are busy and the majority of the 
information that gets conveyed is done via the list.

I would however like to see it grow. If anyone has ideas for the site, a 
means to accomplish said task and is willing to own it from beginning to 
end I have no problem giving people FTP access to the site. I would like 
to have the list "sign-off" on any work being done though.

Thoughts?
