Personal bug bear -- the main header graphic has a white background.  So 
does the web page.  If Netscape is in a low colour situation, it will 
*dither* the white on the header graphic, leaving ugly stipples.  Please
use giftrans (or possibly called transgif) in the ports tree to set the
background of the GIF to transparent, as well as white.

The UK information looks accurate.  

Is this page intended to replace the FreeBSD Usergroups information on the
main web site, or to duplicate it?

I'm a little uneasy at having duplicate sources for the same information.
Experience tells me they always get out of sync.  Couldn't this section
just link back to the user groups stuff on the main web site?
