Ok heres some important info:

nzlug.org.nz is largely conceptual, and is not a reflection of current state.
Before we agreed to merge the wiki concept with Waikato's already working
example, that was a platform created by Nic Bellamy. Ignore it.

Ive asked him to take it offline in the short term.

Have clarified this with Ewen already. Hes on our nzlug-discuss list now too.

Mark.
