Hi, I am a new linux user (with only one year experiance)
I visited this website long time ago, but i found it 2 complicated
I didn't find any start page.
So I thought it is silly website and I googled for a better one.
Today (after one year) I heard alot about you (especially when you visited my inistitue)
I decided to visit your website and try again to understand
still the only thing I could figoure out is the forum
I am sure this website is more than just forum. for example what does this word mean "Gathering 21st of May 2005"?
all of what i am asking for is to make a start page (for the new visitors).
this page should contain the following:
1-an intro for the website and the group
2-The group's rules
3-The group's Activities
4-some How-To (i.e. if you want to visit our forum click here, if you want to know the latest news click here, if you ...... click here)
If found page like this when i came this website for the first time, I would be member here long time ago
sorry for any grammatical mistakes
just click on "home" under
just click on "home" under

this is the start page ,what is the proplem in it?
A guide is needed
I agree with mdk man. When I first subscribed on the LUG, I spent some time can't keep track of the replies on the forums or the events, till I get used to the site and I realized that the secret lies in the link "recent posts" in the top right corner links list. That is for tracking, but for initiating a forum or an event .. etc.., you can use the links in the top or the buttons in the left of the page. And for the links on the right, they are like summaries for all the EGLUG current issues.
thanx for yoiur feedback
I'll open a wiki page where we can answer these questions and in the end convert this page to a proper article.
bas I'd like to ask you some stuff.
> for example what does this word mean "Gathering 21st of May 2005"?
any other questions like that?
>1-an intro for the website and the group
what kind of intro, in our front page which has the groups news you it start with EGLUG exists to serve the Egyptian Free/Open Source Community you can also join us on IRC #eglug@irc.freenode.org
now the about page explains who we are and what we. so isn't that enough as an intro? what else do we need to add?
>2-The group's rules
>3-The group's Activities
now what is the problem exactly, is it not clear that group activities are under events? or is the problem that the things posted under events are not clear (as in your question about what is the gathering).
>4-some How-To (i.e. if you want to visit our forum click here, if you want to know the latest news click here, if you ...... click here)
sounds very reasonable, please tell us everything you want covered under that howto so we can make it perfect.
