I'm always a fan of the concept that information is put on a web page with the 
intent of giving people useable information.  As opposed to the concept that 
information is put up with the intent of encouraging people to produce more 
information of the same kind.

Note that we are talking about the front page here.  "Kuala Lumpur PG user 
group meets tonight" is never of interest to sizeable portion of the people.  
A link "Find a local user group" might be.
