jondwhiteParticipantThe design of focusing on a single image segueing into a series of slideshows of images is used in many attractive websites, including the SWP split ISN. We should use that here instead of four equally sized images. In fact we could include upcoming meetings in the slideshow.

jondwhiteParticipantI don't think it is as difficult as you think it is. IRC servers are off the shelf products readily available at no cost. Much more straightforward for people who don't have the equipment or don't want to sign up to Teamspeak. IRC can run on any PC/device made in the last quarter century.

jondwhiteParticipantSome good articlesI thought this was quite interesting and made some accurate pointshttp://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100211357/the-swps-fanatics-have-outdone-themselves-with-their-margaret-thatcher-is-dead-rejoice-cover/ as does thisRussell Brand: ""Barack Obama, interestingly, said in his statement that she had "broken the glass ceiling for other women".
