Don't know if Meetup will work for small groups. It first
came to my attention reading about political campaigns.

Would be a good place to go if all the various forums
could get in on it.

Wayne, I'd suggest as a followup that at some point the
suggestion be made that all the forums include some sort of link to Meetup in the same way that sites have subscribed to google.

I'd have a hard time doing that as an individual.

As you know, I've been trying to contact the Wisconsin
DIY community myself.
