[AlaskaRC] Website

[Armand Marshall]

As long as we are discussing the website.

I recall that the (Tom's) original intent was to be able to distribute the
maintenance of various sections of the website to other volunteers.  For
instance, one person might take care of posting recent photos, another
person might take care of the membership application page, another person
might take care of a 'gliders' section, etc.

Has that idea gone by the wayside?  Did it turn out that Joomla isn't suited
to that type of administration?

Thanks.

My apologies, I'll get on it by the end of the day.  Armand has set up the
PayPal side and I just need to update the webpage (and push Mike's Pretty
Plane picture up).  The website isn't considered "done" as far as I'm
concerned. In the background I've been learning more about Joomla templates
so I can swap out the current theme - it's nice looking, but is really
lacking some normal elements (like a designated place for banner ads and
whatnot).
