I think the idea for this page being on the wiki was that it allowed for
changes to be made over time, e.g. if there was a new idea for how to do
something, a clarification, etc. It also has not been updated since 2015.

That said, I would not be opposed to adding something on the website for
how to start a user group, etc. but I think we need to ensure we have
some "final" language we've agreed to. It's (relatively) easier to
modify a Wiki page than the website.

Perhaps an interim step is to link to the wiki page from the website? We
can then work on what we would want the "user group operating manual"
page to say on the website, and once ready, commit that.

Thanks,

Jonathan
