I am sorry, bit I must disagree with you. One of the very strong points
about Ubuntu is the community and, to some extent, the bigger and more
diverse the community is the better for all. FWIW, I think the only
reason for separate groups is one of ease of communication eg language.

Well when I said setting one up was a good idea, I also said that it would only
be worth it if there were enough people joining to keep it going, I wont be
setting one up, i'm not from Ireland, I was just giving my oppinion. Would you
like a [Ubuntu-USA-UK-Ireland-Australia-South africa-English speaking
Europe-English speaking Asia-English speaking South America-and enyone else who
speaks english] list? and then the same for all the french speaking countries
and agian for the german speaking countries etc. I feel those would be too busy
to use effectivly. Small(er) divisions are sensible, with everyone on this list
being from the UK it means that we have certian things in common, But it also
means we are differnt in culture from other english speaking places, which
would become apparent on a languange (as opposed to area) segregated list. Lots
of very small groups would be bad for ubuntu and I agree with you on community
thing to an extent, and depending on the size and number of active users in an
Irish list, I think it become quite a good community.
