nice high-level overview of what Drupal is, what it can do, and how
it's being used in various places.Could we have a
presentation on the next step please? How is Drupal being used at
kwlug.org? How does one participate / contribute content to kwlug.org,
as an individual, or as representatives of K-W LUG?Creation:-
as a demonstration of how one might create their own Drupal site, how
was kwlug.org initially created?

Drupal at kwlug.org structured? What's in there, and how does it all

Comments

Content entry is confusing.

Having typed in the basic entry, it was all run together in one big blob of text.

Cutting that same blob of text, pasting into Nvu, and copying the resulting source version back into the original text box, resulted in what you see.

Trying to demonstrate this in this comment resulted in yet another format.

Content entry and comment entry are not the same thing / don't create the same end result. What's going on?

Could this be changed to make text entry consistent, please?
