Future of the LUAU Site and List

I agree. Does anyone want to take of caring for the website? The website and
mailing list can be of great use for people as it always has been.  If
meetings are not happening fine, but they may start to take place in the
future. What is funny is that I can remember the day that LUAU started to
change, and it was when we started having "Officials" when LUAU was just a
bunch of guys that would get together and work on Linux, or discuss it, it
was a lot better. Then a leader was basically just someone that would handle
the mundane stuff, maybe that is the way it needs to be again. As far as the
other groups about Linux and Open Source, have fun, good luck, but LUAU is
LUAU, hell we should even change the name back to the way it was, and start
over.

AT NO POINT DID I SAY THE MAILING LIST WOULD CHANGE.

And yes, Jason has the main points of why the LUAU site needs to be changed.
Zach, if you have such an emotional attachment to the website, leave it be,
but we must correct the misleading reference to meetings that no longer
exist.
