One approach raised by Brian Burger is to migrate our wiki content
onto wiki.ubuntu.com under SouthAfricanTeam as various other LoCoTeams
do. I'd like comments on this too, but we still need the ability to
implement the other apps that have been discussed.

Tangentially, this is one of the reasons I've always held "No
duplication of resources" as a watchword in planning the various
incarnations of Ubuntu Canada's site.

Ubuntu has not one but two public wikis - wiki.u.c & doc.u.c/community
- so no extra wiki on Ubuntu Canada's site. Likewise, there's a
perfectly good  mailing list, so no forums. Other people maintain very
nice lists of Canadian LUGs, so we don't have to, etc.

Not directly related to the issues with rt's uselessness, though.
