So it isn't morning anymore...

My "Part 1" provided a high level overview of a community structure
where there were several types of "Community Groups" (User Groups, SIGs
and Components), as well as PROJECTS, which were the mechanisms whereby
CGs actually performed "work".  Two key parts of this proposal are that
PROJECTS can themselves spawn sub-PROJECTS and that PROJECTS are the
incubators for new CGs.

The following is a first-pass whack at taking all of the 300 or so
existing Community Groups, User Groups and Projects and reorganizing
them into a more manageable structure.

Key to my reorg was an attempt to put PROJECTs under the COMPONENT
where they integrate rather than under the SIG where they get talked
about.  Some existing Projects got turned into umbrella PROJECTS,
as did some Community Groups.  I didn't look too hard for dead
CGs and Projects, though I noted them when their deadness jumped
out at me.  If I misfiled tings, or if I missed any obvious-to-
everyone-but-me things, feel free to correct the wiki page
http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OGB_2008/009


I count

          2 "Special CGs"
	67  USER GROUPs
	 8  SIGs
	 9  COMPONENTS
        ---
         86 top level Community Groups
