I agree that an IxDA specific group is a great idea ... and in some cities there are probably enough people interested to support multiple groups, but so far in Toronto I haven't seen it. The one existing group isn't very big, and I think the overlap between it and an IxDA group would be 100%.
I'm not sure the Toronto IxD/UX community is large enough to support multiple groups... unless I'm just totally out of the loop. Now, maybe the existing UXIrregulars group could become the local IxDA outpost ...
