Local Groups and GDO Communication
We're in the middle of our 1st ChatUp in #drupal-groups as announced on http://groups.drupal.org/local-user-group-organizers
One thing that has come up is the need for very effective communication tools that are particularly useful to local groups.
To that end I am asking:
What is the D6 GDO outlook regarding this topic
What do the group leaders believe us essential to any communication tool?
Many people have a meetup.com account and/or use a personal website for the group where better communication tools exist.
Is the new GDO going to attempt to lessen the need for non-GDO sites and tools?
Please reply with your ideas for an effective communications tool for your group.

definitely willing to discuss changes
We're definitely interested in discussing and implementing changes. My impression is that external sites are necessary for things that g.d.o can't provide (meetup is it's own marketing engine because it is used for other purposes and will draw in people who go to a web design meetup, external camp sites may be necessary to take registration payment which would be too hard to setup here).
So, propose ideas and let's discuss how to best implement them and whether people would appreciate the new features.
