Interestingly the yahoo group seems to be surprisingly well used.

I was thinking of setting up a similar Fest co-ordination group.

Lugnet is OK, but there are far more sophisticated things out there for
managing a group - like sharing a calender, etc to arrange something,
poll interest, sign up for an event, etc.

I did Yahoo as it was quick and easy - but for a more permanent solution
I can easily put something like the site I had last year - which
disappeared because I changed hosts.
