No problem, Tim. It's too much for one person to do, especially 
considering how we are currently set up. We haven't even been pining you 
with our presos (myself included). No worries.

Good idea but we can't do it (yet). That would mean that we'd have 56 
editors and they'd step all over each other editing the main CG pages. 
That's what happened with the old UG community, where pages and user 
names were regularly deleted (accidentally) because we had over 100 site 
leads. But when the site can handle more wiki features I would love to 
distribute the load just as you suggest. For now, I think it's best for 
each UG to just post their presos in their own project space. That's one 
of the reasons we wanted each UG to have their own project, so they've 
have easy control over their own content. We have a grid listing all the 
UGs so they are very easy to find now. We're getting there. :)

Don't. :) Just put 'em in your project. :)
