php-nuke. A /. clone.

You might be surprised how little bandwidth text takes compared to all the images of a php-nuke site.

I'm not sure what you mean by that last sentence. There shouldn't be any "outside sources" here. Everyone is encouraged to sign up and participate.

Well, thanks for the suggestion, but I think the mailing list serves our needs here a little better. But, if we were going to make a switch, we would definitely want to run the site ourselves. 

That's one of the benefits of belonging to the group. We can decide to implement something like that and even if we have no experience with it we can all learn from doing it. 

I would encourage everyone to volunteer to help in an area that interests them, especially if they have no experience in that area. You can definitely learn by doing. I know I have.
