<p class=MsoNormal>> I would be particularly keen to get the
support points maps a la<br>

<br>
A wiki page seems like a good start for this.<br>

Which Matthais?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>**Matthias Urlichs, who is the primary contact on the wiki
ref ubuntu hosting and getting ubuntu to host our own webforums, or support
points code. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>> Please can you tell me what the policies
are regarding using ubuntu to<br>
> host the team's web pages, Weblog and forums.<br>
<br>
Currently I have access to the web page.<br>
<br>
What would a blog be for?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>**Having a hosted weblog would be a useful asset as people could
post up news comments, etc which could be read by the general public and
subscribed to via rss. <br>
<br>
I don't see a need for forums, the official ones are already in English.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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: <o:p></o:p></p>

I'd suggest starting 2 on the wiki as well for now.<br>

<br>
Yes.<br>

Including your surname in your From address is helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
