ILUG webpage



Hi,

This could be addressed to Jonathan personally, I guess. However, I
thought it wouldn't be a bad ideas to have some lively discussion about
what should be included in the web page, so I post it here instead.
I happened to visit www.linux.org.il today, after a long time I haven't
seen it, and found a beautiful page. However, I think there are some
additions that can make the site (even) more valuable.
My personal reason for going there was to look for an old posting in the
mailing list archives. I found no link to the archives, or to the
weizmann institute site maintained by Evgeny in plasma-gate. I think
such links could be very helpful. By the way, in plasma-gate itself I
found no link to the archives either. Evgeny - do the archives still
exist? I think they are perhaps the single most important contribution
of this group to the local Linux community. Since the mailing list isn't
indexed and archived in the international search engines, it should have
well linked archives.
Browsing through the the linux.org.il pages, I found links to the most
common international sites, but no links to israeli ftp sites for
example. Adding links to as many local sites as possible could be very
beneficial. Such a list could also have links to local ftp directories
for other software that has linux versions, most notably netscape. Also
missing is a link to the mailing list FAQ.
Jonathan - will it be difficult to add the above mentioned links? I'm
willing to help with compiling lists of local links, if that is needed. 
Do other people have ideas regarding what should be pointed to from the
web page?

By the way, since I didn't find the mailing list archives, here's what I
was looking for: a while ago, someone posted a sed or awk one-liner for
upgrade of RPM packages. Will he (or someone else who has it) be kind
enough to send it again. 

Cheers,
Tuvik
