[Nfb-web] [NFB-web] NFB Drupal User Group

[Gary Wunder]

Hi, Mike. Our webmaster is trying to learn Drupal. If it were oriented to
instruction and questions, it would be a good idea. I agree that a group
just to have one is not a good idea.

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.
