Indeed.
I can slap a drupal installation up if people don't mind Watershed hosting.
2 questions, I suppose:
1. Who fancies skinning it?
2. Is there a meetup.com style plugin so when an event is advertised, people
can sign up to come?
I quite like Rick's idea of having an area where people can "trade" their
skills, a bit like a skills dating site. But I'm not sure how many people
would use it, and we need topics for swaps, so maybe best to stick to large
swaps for the time being? At least we get free beer and funding for them :)
