I am trying to think ahead to the issues we would encounter.  I'm glad
you find it funny, but it is important to plan ahead when starting any
long-term commitment.  Volunteer groups have a habit of getting wildly
enthusiastic about anything new, but then not following through and
maintaining the effort.  We have a limited amount of "volunteer power"
and should use it wisely on efforts that can be maintained
realistically and will benefit the local Linux community.

Obviously.  But we should still figure out if there is anything to put
there in the first place.  That is, what needs does the current
website NOT fulfill?

First, what are the criteria for choosing a trusted group of editors?
Second, what happens when they disagree ... or when one or more of
them leave?  The answer to both is that more volunteer time has to be
expended.  And that is not something we have a whole lot of.
