I think that ideas are pretty good.
Almost all that points can be performed with some CMS as drupal,
joomla, plone or whatever.
So in a future everyone can update the system or resolve problems
because the site use an already know code.
One of the big problems about the actual site is that nobody really
knows how it works. I have the code of 4 or 5 years ago and I'm sorry,
I'm not a web programmer but the code seems a little bit chaotic. So
If we use a CMS, if in the future the webmaster get for example
abducted by some unnatural incomprehensible phenomena, another person
can take his place and use the environment in a couple of hours.
And we could even perform a site to put news, tutorials and
information. For example http://bulma.net/ the LUG of the Balears
Islands do it and their site is pretty famous in Spain.
I think we can exploit many of the advantages all the Web offer today
and in Tlug there are many web developer experts that can give advices
and ideas about that.

One more point about use a CMS is that it's easy to install and
configure in a couple of hours and for the design, well there are many
free layouts or just we can make a personalized one.

What do you think? :-)
