Hi Brian,
I could've sworn I'd replied to this last time -- obviously not :-)

No general objection to the concept here. I think breaking it down
by service rather than country is probably a good idea.
I.e.,
The following user groups offer free webspace for FreeBSD related
projects.
....
The following user groups offer @xx.freebsd.org e-mail addresses for
people working on FreeBSD related projects.
....
The following user groups can offer a CVS repository to people working
on FreeBSD related projects.
....
and so on.
