I'm just now catching up on email. Regarding the website, I would like it to be a place where we can make our grants and board documents available. I feel that it should be legally separate from WMF web properties, although we may run MediaWiki on the website. The company that hosts the SeaFOSS website has provided me with good service and I'm planning to include a web hosting fee from them in our proposed budget and grant requests. I could run a site under my own name under my current contract, but it's
legally preferable for our user group to have an independent contract. Once the website is operational I think the maintenance will be modest. We can continue to have discussions on Meta and have event postings also noted on Meta and ENWP. ENWP's geonotice feature is especially useful. I agree that we need to be mindful of maintenance requirements, and for that reason we might want to limit the content posted to our website while providing prominent referrals to places where we're already maintaining and updating information on Meta and English Wikipedia. I think the most labor-intensive part of the operation will be setting up the website; once that is done we'll probably only need to update it a few times a year. Mako and Jason, if you two would be willing to collaborate with each other to set up a modest website when we get the funds for hosting, I would appreciate it (:
