I can see and understand your enthusiasm here. I think that it's true
that initiatives like that will continue to be important for
attracting users and contributors.

Having said that, I don't think it follows from this that it is useful
for local teams to depart from the existing methods of communication
and organisation in the Ubuntu community. Until the whole community
takes the step that the wiki ceases to be the central place for
organisation and mailing lists the central place for communication,
local teams shouldn't work any differently.

That doesn't mean that there can't be initiatives outside those
resources in relation to different types of collaboration or marketing
(for example the marketing team currently has an open thread in
relation to such a project for local teams), but my view is just that
core communication and organisation should be the same throughout the
community.

That's why I invited Martin to give some more details and explain further.
