[Brug-talk] Setup BRUG website

[Tom Mestdagh]

Hi,

yeah, the logo looks very nice.
I would also be happy to help with ror development on the website if 
needed, but I guess we can do a lot with just a wiki and using the tools 
available (del.icio.us, youtube, flickr, ...).  But offcourse, the wiki 
should be in rails :-p   Instiki is a possibility, anybody experience 
with that?

regards,
Tom
