[HOT] HOTOSM.org Drupal tweaking? - Blog comments & updates feed(s)

[Mikel Maron]

I think it's a great idea. I'm trying to find someone to do a mockup, then we can try to implement a prototype at the Birthday Sprint.

Not quite sure what it would look like, but would include more blurbs about HOT members and have their hotosm email accounts.  This would be super useful because it could take a lot of the emails away from just info at hotosm.org and distribute it more to people in specific areas.
