Okie dokie.

Basically, anything you want, related to your LUG/club/group/organization.

Yup! You'll just need to choose someone to maintain the pages in the
/org/au/ hierarchy of the website. Any people who are LUGNET members
can create private pages within that as well, using their member ID.
(See <http://www.lugnet.com/publish/ftx/guide/> for more details.)

The website part can be as in-depth as you like -- it doesn't have to be
restricted to official newsgroup-related business.

Yup, that's spot on!

That's for you to decide (and police :-). It does complicate things a
bit, but if you're willing to take on the challenge, you'll probably be
glad you did.

I.e., members of LegOz and/or Studs?

Maybe what we should do is have the charter state that auction traffic
is permitted under circumstances outlined in an external page which you
can have access to write up and custom-tailor as things develop.

I'm not too worried. In a worst-case scenerio, we might have to back up,
clean up some mess, and reexamine things, but I don't think this is a bad
precedent at all -- I've always wanted the .org.* groups to be able to
serve specific clubs/organizations as strongly as possible.
