A few comments.

Rate the importance of ...
Classified ads (hardware, services, etc.)
  - Perhaps not "important", but a listing of local linux resources,
    linux-friendly businesses, would be cool. A member swap-meet area
    would be really neat, IMHO.
Information repository for new Linux users
  - Links to good resources would be good. Maybe an area for
member-written    articles
Portal to Linux resources
  - Again, links. Not sure what is meant by "portal". Also member-written
    articles?

On-line web forum, tied to CLUE email lists
Technical support area (members helping members)
Topical posts and threaded discussion (e.g., Slashdot)
 - these three all seem redundant with the e-mail lists

Would you read a CLUE newsletter?
 - Depends upon the content.

My #1 suggestion:
  <a href="{URL} ...
instead of
  window.open(URL,windowname,properties)
(yeah, my standard rant ;-)


Cheers,
jed
