[GRLUG] Wiki thread

Wed May 24 00:00:05 EDT 2006

I'd like to contribute to the wiki discussion in two ways.  

First, I like DokuWiki (found through http://www.wikimatrix.org/) It is
file based, so no database to maintain, could be copied on CD etc.  Also
it works with LDAP authentication, ldap groups and rights per group
assigned to pages.  Most of all it has been tweaked for documentation
... A commercial support is available if necessary.

Also, I'd like to suggest another GRLUG meeting at GRCC.  In addition
to current issues we could again do some technical presentations.  I'd
like to suggest Oracle 10g installation on RedHat 4.  I could walk the
group through kernel adjustments, package requirements, etc.

Let me know.

Oops, I should have read this thread before posting on another...
Yeah, we have a box for GRLUG.  We should have a meeting and vote-in
some officials or something.  Volunteers?
