Question - how much bandwith, maintenance & labor time does this suck up, Brandon?

If the answer is "a lot", I think we as a group need to decide how we're going to break ourselves up geographically in terms of these groups. Not trying to pick on Greg here(really!), but a team from Rochester could very well be a part of a Rochester group, a region of Rochester group, a county group, a region of the county group, a NY group, an upstate NY group, a Northeast group, an East Coast group, a US group, and so on.

I think user groups are a great idea, but I would prefer on the geography side that we choose one geographic fragmentation and stick to it, if it starts to get out of hand. Either regionally (ie a Northeast group) or state-wide (a NY group) would be my first choices.
