Would it be best to collect these ideas on a wiki page? I started this:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/US_website_ideas (feel free to redirect
to a better name)
I do feel like it might be best for the whole community if we try to re-vamp
the current global wiki rather than create our own, but
I like the way Jim has broken out the components of US OSM pages. Some of
these are probably better as wiki pages, others as more static pages. But
having it in 'bite sized chunks' makes it easier to divide the work and
manage the tasks.

We've run a few ad hoc events in Denver off facebook because it's free.

Agreed. I don't see why Canadians can't get involved/use the site too. The more
the merrier :)

I met with someone at Where 2.0 from meetup.com mentioned that OSM uses the
site for some meetups, but it's hard because they charge $12/mo. There may
be a way to get these groups sponsored by meetup.com, so that OSM mappers
