A tale of 2 websites

[Andrew VanSpronsen]

I disagree, part of our mandate it to create a less intimidating environment 
for our membership and canadian ubuntu users. I think by hosting our own 
wiki and forum that we will encourage more people to be involved and more 
people to come forward than would with a larger audience. I think the 
current wiki proves this with more active items than we have had on the 
ubuntu.com <http://ubuntu.com> wiki.
