>> What would a blog be for?
>>
>> **Having a hosted weblog would be a useful asset as people could post up

>> to via rss.
>>
>> I don't see a need for forums, the official ones are already in English.
>>
>> Forums, Would be a really useful aspect particularly as we would have a
>> location to discuss various aspects which are directly UK related , such as
>> Steve and I have done here:
>>
>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Marketing
>>
>>> (1) co-ordinating our own work
>>>
>>> (2) providing local support contacts and info on availaility of
>>> Ubuntu-compatible hardware (eg what things that PC World etc sell that
>>> the 'average home user' can get to work with Ubuntu easily), and so on
>>>
>>> I suggest that (1) could remain on the UKTeam's wiki pages (
>>>
>>> [2]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeams) to remain integrated with the
>>> Ubuntu community at large, and (2) could be on ubuntu-uk.org to
>>> provide local support free from organisational clutter and geek-speak.
>>
>> I'd suggest starting 2 on the wiki as well for now.
>>
>>> John has pointed out that there are many businesses and events
>>> involved in Ubuntu that could do with being co-ordinated in the UK.
>>
>> Yes.
>>
>> Including your surname in your From address is helpful.
