Bangalore RUG recently got a site for the first time.This came out of the need to set the ball rolling for activity more than just a discussion group.As agreed by fellow moderators,Sidu and Satish, this group is a knowledge centric group and there needs to be a central place for all Ruby, Rails knowledge.Then I think the group might serve it's right purpose.I googled for a such a place to create site,and it stumbled upon sploup.com. Which is a place where you can create sites for groups.
In this place I could:
1.Get a place to share the code (Download Section)
2.Calender to Mark the calenders
3.Direct connect for the community members
4.Share Photos and Publicize the group.
Well the only thing which I felt was strongly missing is the Blogging part.I wanted to run a community blog,a much better resource center for Ruby and Rails ,anything for that matter than books.
The interface comes with a dashboard and a lot of good features though,select themes,customize them considerably,manage users,manage content,create pages.You can add questions for people who want to join new.
This is a good option to keep the site for a group or a community.
