No. They would be user groups. Think more like projects, as Stephen mentioned.

Only they're not called projects. They're called user groups. And would have
a separate listing and a separate entry in the site navigation. But a project is
probably a good comparison. So a user group has known leaders, a mailing
list if it wants it, a place on the website. No source code, though.

Yes, we need to get away from the "everything is either a community or
a project" idea. At which point it may be worth wondering if there are
any other structural groupings required.
