[Nfb-web] NFB Drupal User Group

[Michael Hansen]

Peter,

My only concern is that there be an identified need for this. Making a
group just because there isn't one there yet usually isn't the best
idea, We get lots of defunct unused groups that way. In this case it
would be a defunct unsed group with our name on it.

If you think that the group would have a lot of use and that there is
a need for a seperate list outside of this list then I would say go
for it.
