I posted the link pointing to a page primarily designed as a joke,
referring to the fact that the WLUG "branding" of the website is almost all
due to the theme, nothing to do with the actual content of the site.

The page referring to NZLUG was actually originally authored years ago and
back then it was probably correct. However, I'm really a strong supporter
of the new move to an Auckland LUG and making NZLUG more focused on NZ
wide content, so it's good to see the wiki updated to reflect that move.

Our real thing with all of this has been - don't discount the WLUG wiki
just because of the WLUG association. If there are other real concerns,
like the concept of a wiki itself, thats good stuff to discuss. Please
don't just ignore the years of work we (and many other people around the
world) have put into the wiki because it's not got NZLUG written at the
top of the page.
