  FWIW: One thing trying to help GNHLUG has taught me is that the that the
organization and administration is the critical part, and the hard part,
about being a user group.  GNHLUG has web sites, mailing lists, even regular
meetings, but it is still currently suffering from a lack of cohesion and
direction, due mostly to a scarcity of free time.  As you note on your home
page, the people are the important part.  Something to keep in mind in your
own endeavors.

  On a more positive note, I'm pleased to see an effort to form a group
around local interest in Free Software, and I like the direction you're
taking the web site.  Creating a web resource for Linux and Free Software
users was one of the things I was trying to create when I took over
maintenance of www.gnhlug.org last year.

  Props for the creative name, too.  :)

  FYI: That site took at least twenty seconds to come up for me (I'm on
cable right now), and has a broken image on the home page.  I dunno if you
know and expected that, or if something is really borken, so I figured I'd
mention it.
