Looking over the user group and regional lists, I feel like we need a
new category.

Here's what I propose:

User Groups
   * organizing face-to-face meetings, local advocacy.  generally
highly-local discussion that is a mix of technical/non-technical

Regional Organization
   * larger geographic area, non-profit groups, primarily
non-technical discussion

Language-specific lists
   * These follow the model of pgsql-general - providing technical
support and referrals in a specific language: pgsql-es-ayuda,
pgsql-fr-generale and the Persian list *seem* to follow this model.
Alvarro could speak for pgsql-es-ayuda.  I *think* pgsql-it-generale
also falls in that category.  Gabriele?

Does that division sit well with people?  I can offer a patch later on
today for the pages and sidebars.
