Which is a really good reason not to keep it.  There is nothing more
demoralizing than either posting to a forum and getting no response, or
finding that the only other mention on google for your specific error
message is an unanswered forum post!

What would be on it?

This is the conundrum - there is no point in duplication of information.
The Ubuntu website/wiki/forums have an excellent set of information on
Ubuntu; if you want stuff relevant directly to NZ, you can look at the New
Zealand Linux Wiki at http://wiki.linux.net.nz/.   I'll update the Ubuntu NZ
page link to the NZLW, but unless we have someone willing to put a lot of
time into editing a web page, I don't think it could add much value on top
of what we have now.
