Want to 'scrape content' from another site? Make sure it's legal, and hey presto, you have the tools to do that. See for instance http://fnlinuxindia.notlong.com
How?
Linux-india.org under Raj Mathur is making a good offer:
Welcome to the India Linux Organisation!
This site is an example of what can be done with the Linux India web site and provides simple hints to get you started. You can change everything: the logo, the overall look, the categories at the top of this page, the content of this and every page. You can rename pages, delete them and add new ones. You can invite members and manage who gets to see and do what! The only tools you need are this browser, your mouse and your keyboard.
Please create an account and edit your personal page to get a feel of what can be done with this package.
What they are saying is also this:
LUG Information Are You A LUG?
If you are associated with a LUG in India please create an account for yourself. Call it ``lug-<location>'' and put whatever information you want about your LUG on your page. Then send me (Raj Mathur, <raju (at) linux-delhi (dot) org>) the page URL and I'll link it from the LUG page on this site.
Please put at least the URL of your LUG on your page.

So you've been waiting for the linux-india.org web site to finally come up... It has, of a sort.
Installed MetaDot (http://metadot.com/), a FLOSS CMS on the site. It's working, but I haven't done any except very basic configuration yet.
If you feel adventurous, have loads of time and don't mind reading and re-reading documentation, please download the MetaDot documentation from:
http://download.metadot.com/Metadot_Documentation-pdf.zip
It's very comprehensive. Read it. Understand it. Make a list of stuff that needs to be done for the site.
Then give me a shout and I'll give you the admin password to customise and manage the site.
Remember, you are the boss! The site is your baby, nurture it.
Regards,
