It seems to me that if areas of the website could be editted/updated by
individuals who dont necessarily have permissions to the overall format, the
website would have a lot more of a community feel, and the burden on any one
particular individual would be minimal. (Similar to curators on LUGNET.) This
would help a lot in helping the website gain support from all corners of the
community.

So far, the architecture supports multiple levels of access to areas of the
site, including various administrative areas for statistics, and management of
content. It is my hope that much of the back-end reporting can be made useful
to TLC, perhaps by giving them some access to various reports, etc.

On the topic of Calanders, I have an idea that I think would be really
useful. Imagine a place where every club could announce their events in a
central location. And they hand out the url to people who attend their
events and visit their website. So a person goes to this website, gets a
login (perhaps) and tells the system that they would like to recieve (in
their email) announcements of LEGO events within 100miles (or whatever
distance) of whatever zip code they choose to give. That way a person is
signed up for only one list but gets notices of NILTC, Michiana-LUG, &
MichLUG (1) events, assuming those events are close to them.

The calendar idea so far in development is to provide a single worldwide lego
event calendar which various administrators can add events to and send out
posts/emails about them. The main thing is that anybody can simply view the
calendar and see things going on all over the world or just in their area.
