a few comments about ubuntu.ca vs ubuntu-org.ca

*) ubuntu-org.ca has some useful links that are not present in
ubuntu.ca: to the irc logger,  to the mailing list page, to the main
wiki on ubuntu.com

*) it's a low priority item, but personally I like planets as a way to
get info about a community.  The one on ubuntu-ca.org was bare, but it
was a start. (note to myself:  need to update my blog).  Would it be
possible to do that on ubuntu.ca?  Is there an actual interest for
this?

*)  do we need a wiki on ubuntu.ca?  We should use the one on
ubnutu.com.  It's there, on a server already maintained for us, and
the advantage is that for users not familiar with
ubuntu.ca/ubuntu-ca.org, they can find us and info simply by doing a
search on one main site.  I don't like having information partitioned
in 2 different wiki on 2 different web sites; it a recipe for
confusion on the long run.

*)  I'm not a forum user, but do we need a forum on ubuntu.ca?  Or we
could carve ourself a place in the main ubuntuforum web site?   That
forum site  is very popular, and as such I wonder if placing our
forums  there would insure a higher visibility for the Canadian group;
and make it easier for people to find us and the info we would serve
via forums.
