[ubuntu-in] All hands on the deck!

[Anmol Sarma]

I personally feel Drupal would be the way to go, especially with the
efforts like here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal which aim to
make Drupal even more suitable for LoCo teams. We could segregate
content into editable wiki section and have more static introductory
pages. I second Nitish's blog aggregator proposal (which once again
can be easily done using Ubuntu Drupal Planet
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-planet). Also, IMHO having a
separate login system is redundant and we should seek to integrate
with Launchpad or Canonical Single Sign On.

I'm happy to see this is finally taking off. Looking forward to contributing.
