I think this page needs some editing..

I think this page should be a Wiki!

Cool! I thought Lunch 2.0 might be something interesting that I might come here to learn about, starting with “what the fug is Lunch 2.0?” And then maybe I might attend one.
But clearly this site and lunch 2.0 is only for people who already know all about lunch 2.0. Because there’s no explanation for the rest of us.
That’s awesome, b/c now I know there’s no point in wasting any more of my time or attention on Lunch 2.0! that is so kickin. in fact its edgy. and swell.

Hmmm… Web 2.0 meets food ergo Lunch 2.0. That means, community and eating. Eat off of the same plate? All eat together? Cook together?

lunch 2.0 - nicely coined term, except no good explanation…

Okay, I added something to the page. Angie is right, f there was a way for me to make Wordpress do a Wiki I would, because that’s the spirit of Lunch 2.0.
If you want to edit, e-mail me a request and I’ll get you write perms on the blog.

Added attribution. Sorry, we just used the default stuff.

We’ll be redoing this theme soon to make it compatible with the latest version of WP; and you should think about upgrading as well. We’ll give you a heads-up when it’s available.

What is needed to launch Lunch 2.0 in Austin, Texas? Be happy to host the first organizational lunch. Anyone interested in a road trip?

@Stephen.
Lunch 2.0 is an idea, not an organization. But for some tips, simply send an e-mail to me and Mark and we’ll try to get you hooked up with others and combine resources. (BTW, Rose is from UT so maybe you can convince Mark to go.)
Also, one of us will probably be at SXSW next year.
