I got to tinkerin' and put together a partial recreation of what's on our
Wiki:  http://joomla.okcjug.org/.  I'm just using the default theme at the
moment, but that's easily changed to one of many freely available themes, or
we can make our own.  What do you think?  Stick with the wiki and find a
place to host it where we can get to it (which Objectstream will pay for)?
Run with this?  Who cares? :P
