Don't know what other groups, for CZOSUG, I think we are missing only 
private mailing list, announce is done through the user group mailing 
list, since it's fairly low-to-moderate traffic...

The -private list should be definitely subscribers-only-can-post and 
invisible from the listing, since it serves the purpose of background 
coordination activities before they can be published (mostly 
administration tasks that just generate lot of noise). New subscribtions 
should probably be controllable by the moderator, that's why I said 
invite-only...

Not at all, it was just that wiki is generally very easy/fast to use 
from anywhere for (well almost) anyone. I think making genunix wiki 
semi-official would be enough for the moment...
