Looks great so far! And it's a really excellent example of a team
taking advantage of the resources given to them (mailing lists,
forums, loco directory, wiki) and using the website itself to really
bring it all together.

I think making effective websites is something teams really struggle
with since there is a temptation to run everything yourself rather
than using said resources, you've inspired me to write an
Ubuntu-US.org article on this :) If anyone else has any tips (or great
site examples!) I'd love to hear the to add to such an article, I've
added the very basic premise of the article here:
