Not to be brackish but I do think that some stuff should be on the wiki 
and the member should be responsible for reading it.  It would 
be...inefficient to give a complete oral history of all of trilug and 
its services at every meeting.  There is also a trilug mail server (but 
not scheduling server haha) and Podcasts, Lunches, shell accounts.  How 
do I know this?  I just read it on the front page of the wiki 
(http://trilug.org/wiki/Main_Page) and right here:
(http://trilug.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions).  At the beginning 
of the last meeting, I believe the wiki was mentioned.  It might be good 
to have an occasional "TriLUG for members" meeting which explains how 
the trilug works, the various parts/infrastructure, (more-or-less) 
do-ocracy in action (just go edit the wiki), etc.
