Firstly, it's a great idea...

However, it's going to need more than just geographical information I 
think - for example for the Netherlands community I'd use the forum for 
contact rather than the talk-nl mailing list, whereas for IE/GB/UK it's 
the other way around.  It'd also need people to be able to say e.g. "in 
$country we mostly use $other_service and you can contact us via ....".  
Maybe it's possible to see how many posts in each list/forum have been 
made and see which is the one that people actually use?

Best Regards,

Andy
