update:

its august already and most of the entries in the todo are still untouched, bad bad bad.

whats even worse is I'm busy till october and practically have no time for eglug :-(

oh well in the true EGLUG tradition here is my todo that never gets done for 2005, this is more of an action wishlist, some stuff is really my todo but most is things I wish EGLUG would do and I hope I'll find others who'll help.

EGLUG Website

  • post an anouncement asking seniors to run AGAIN
  • this time deploy the freaking ranking vote module (which is ready folks)
  • Death to the tyrants (or does that include me?)
• Review new Drupal modules and see if any benefits EGLUG
• implement a proper category taxonomy and use cute taxonomy icons on all posts
• implement some streamlined simplified navigation system (this time drupal has the tools to enable that, no need for custom hacks hopefuly)
