The site linuxhelpers.org site is being redone, and will 
soon live in a decent server.  We are working on a 
php/postgres site that will be dynamic.  If there is a 
person with time to help, I think it can be complete and in 
use by Jan 1, 2001.

LinuxHelpers.org domain to the consortium if there is a 
great idea by better skilled folks that *can* make it work.
