Alain / Kevin Hoang and I will be setting up the TLUG wiki in the next
couple of weeks. Light a fire under our collective arse and that could
be sooner. :)

Start drawing up your ideas and wait for the TLUG wiki. Then, you can
quickly build documentation for your idea and announce it on the list.

I would suggest subscribing to <tlug-admin@example.com> (same way you did
to TLUG--send a mail to <tlug-admin-request@example.com> with a Subject
line of "subscribe") and being vocal about your idea. The best way to
get people to help out is just to not shut up about it! ;)

I personally like the idea a lot, and I will try to remind Mauro every
time I see him (at least once or twice a week) to ask his wife "pretty
please with cherries on top" to start looking into the requirements
for obtaining NPO status.
