It's a bit of a pity, because although that structure allows you to have the
NELUG base /org/us/nelug/ to contain all the individual group messages, it
begins to start looking a little bit messy, especially when you have
/org/us/nelug/ma/bos/ etc.

At the moment, I know that /loc/it/ and /loc/uk/ discuss all of their org-stuff
there, so would it be possible or desirable to have urls like:

<http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/> Gives you *everything* in the US
<http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/?org=nelug> Gives you all US nelug messages
<http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/?org=baylug> Gives you all US baylug messages
<http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ma/bos/?org=nelug> All Boston nelug messages
<http://www.lugnet.com/loc/?org=nelug> nelug taking over the world messages

This has probably been discussed before - sorry if I'm just repeating :)

(...) I know when this first came up I said that I would love one for NELUG and I still do. For now crossposting and the mailing-list work but a NELUG group would help consolidate things and it would not clutter all of the .loc groups with NELUG (...)
