No, you can't. We must have ILUG-Delhi rule. You have given the idea, you need to work on it first!
that ILUG-Delhi rule is the most idiotic rule i have ever come across. Anyone with half a brain knows that good ideas are hard to come by. For every hundred ideas suggested, maybe one will be a great idea and another 4 or 5 worth trying out. So to get a few good ideas, you need hundreds of useless ones - so you need to encourage suggestions. If you look at the Delhi mailing list, you find that every time anyone makes a suggestion, some smartass invokes the rule. Result - very very few suggestions on Delhi list. We must accept that not everyone can do everything. Some people may only be able to make suggestions. No doubt there are a few who do nothing but talk - but we need to tolerate them in order not to discourage newer people who would like to make suggestions. A simple example - I am not in Mumbai, but i give a suggestion for a central meeting place for a meeting - do you expect me to come to mumbai, arrange the place and stand at the entrance and welcome participants?
we have a wiki for this lug, and I would have started the page there if I could log in - doesnt seem to be a screen for creating an account. List admin - /me needs an account.
