I don't personally believe we should have an NZLUG.  Half the reason for 
this is I don't see what it will do than duplicate bits of other regional 
LUGs - for example, the membership, by the fact (by definition) the 
catchment area for NZLUG encompasses all the regions.

Other people have made the point that "if it is to continue to exist, it 
should offer as much as it can" - it already has a mailing list and a web 
site, which (along with the Auckland debacle) has been enough to keep it 
alive until now.  Someone else suggested adding a wiki, as those are flavour 
of the month.  That's where we came in.

When those archives are available you'll be able to see just how contentious 
"what should NZLUG actually do?" has become.
