Perhaps I used the wrong word.
The links page has broken ones.
The sponsorship page... someone is sponsoring something?
The constitution... seems to be largely irrelevant.
Maybe obsolete would have been better.

If you're holding the webpage-updater baton you must surely do what works for
you.

Concerned because you fear it will, or won't get indexed?
Google scrapes all that is scrapable.

We could have http://muglo.ca/ point at a Google group site, happy to go
register that and make it work...

A blog is a good way to publish something well structured that you expect to
refer to in future. It's no way to carry on a discussion. A blog makes sense
for a single editorial entity, an individual, or a company, but much less for a
group. In our case it would seem to make more sense for those who want to blog
to do so on their own blog and post links to the articles on the mail list.
For group collaboration the wiki model makes sense, and I think that the Google
groups stuff sort of gives you that in so much as you can allow all-comers to
add content.
