Hi, Ray! Short answer (quoting a friend):
a) Lugnet needs a sustainable governing mechanism.
b) Lugnet needs a sustainable revenue source.
c) etc...

There are all kinds of possibile aproaches to those first two blocks, but 'A'
might mean returning to a model like the "Suz & Todd" one with the addition of
some guideline documents. I'd recommend that LUGNET stay away from
moderation-type issues. The 'B' block has potential sources in dues from the
LUGs, assuming LUGNET were to develop with them as a client and offer them an
attractive tools and a model. But, it's hard to woow to the LUGs without some
development, and it's impossible to develop without financial support.
