Project Description:
This project is to convert a web site to Geeklog.net
The current site is at baystreettimes.com. It is now running XOOPS.org, and contains approx. 300 news articles.
The new Geeklog-based site will have these specifications:
1) Use an existing template that is similar in style to the original site (template modifications are OK)
2) Migrate all news stories from original site into new site, and maintain all original categories and statistics for each news item.
3) Allow registered users to submit news articles for approval.
4) The new site should be simple to use and should be able to pass the grandmother test - i.e. simple enough that my grandmother could figure out how use it.
A great example of a simple easy to use geeklog site is:

- User Journals (blogs)
- IM
- Who's Online
- Chat
- Weather
- Register without approval/confirmation
- Classifieds
- User-submitted Links
The project factors are weighted as follows:
Cost: 50%
Time: 25%
Quality: 25%
