What is sawtell.org.au?

For the most part, sawtell.org.au is awaiting the return of the fickle attention of it's site builders/administrators. You can keep track of the perilous state of their mental health by listening to the podcast. If you're a Drupal developer, you can contact us about helping to build the site, if you want to learn how to become a Drupal developer, you can start by attending one of our secret meetings (the password is "swordfish").

The original goals of the project are remain largely unchanged:

  • A database of information about anywhere, anything, anybody to do with Sawtell.
  • Editable by anyone, like Wikipedia, only much more particular.
  • A source of machine readable linked data enabling any system to learn about Sawtell.
  • An aggregator of data from other sources.
  • A template for other sites of this kind.
  • [Insert more here!]
