[Ubuntu-SG] The ubuntu.sg web site

[Ho Yi Hao]

Hi guys,

Firstly, who is having the DNS control? Perhaps we could transfer it to
another site first?

Secondly, I do not know the reason behind running drupal but perhaps we
could also run on wordpress as well? Should be easier to update consider it
is targeted at bloggers?

As I mentioned, changing back to wiki is not the right choice as this is
just a sign of us not being able to get enough people who can contribute
time for the LoCo. The site is a sign of each and everyone of us
contributing to the LoCo team and make further plans look more realistic.

cheers,
with regards,
Yi hao
