Ok, I'll start setting up Jive forums for those UGs that want them, and 
I'll keep track on the UG leaders grid so I won't forget. :). But I want 
to start this /after/ the next webapp upgrade, which is in about a month 
or so. Also, longer term, we are looking at alternatives to Jive, but 
for right now there are more important things to do on the site. We'll 
get there.
