[Baypiggies] nicer Web site design

[w chun]

i think donna should give a talk on Plone and do a live website with
it to show how "easy" it is to do something like this.  in fact, it
would be interesting to see a live creation of a sample BayPIGgies
website. whether it will become the real thing is something for the
group to decide, but in either case, i believe that such a talk is
worthwhile.
