[clue-admin] Website - drupal vs hand coded

[Raymond DeRoo]

Folks--

I've poked around the with the drupal site and compared it to the 
current CLUE site. I found the latest drupal install done by Dan to be a 
marked improvement. Both perceived ( my browsing the site ) and actual ( 
testing done via ab ) demonstrate a much nicer experience ( see below ). 
I don't like the look of the drupal site, but I assume that an 
experience drupaler can make such cosmetic changes. I like the look of 
the current website better, but that is just me.

Now I am anxious to see the current code base of the CLUE website ( 
David, could you easily make a tarball available for me/anyone who would 
like a snapshot of the code and data? ) I like the idea of it being 
placed into git and made publicly accessible. Then putting together a 
quick "deploy tool" for approved

Here some things I would like to see in the CLUE website ( regard of the 
technology driving it ):
     · The poll is interesting, but question its practicality
     · A functioning calendar
     · A list of past meeting
     · All available presentations in PDF ( and possibly other formats )
