[Talk-us] US meetups?

[Jim McAndrew]

It definitely needs a community interface.
And it needs resources to make it extremely simple for someone to set up
their own mapping parties.

I'm sure I missed some discussions on this, but is there a reason to have
a separate wiki than the osm.org wiki?
wiki.osm.org already has a community, already had log ins, and already has
blogs.

What are the goals for the openstreetmap.us web page?
