Cool. I replied to your other email as well. I am not really the person 
that knows much about this. But once you've set up the website, I can 
definitely help with the setup of static pages, navigation and changes 
to fonts and colors.

Best people to ask would be: (also to set up a simple site)

chrisc: chrisc at aktivix.org
ekes: ekes at aktivix.org
mish: mish at aktivix.org

During the meeting you could have a look at some designs of other 
regional pages, to give you an idea of what is easy to set up.

Cheers, Wietse
