I agree that that's a good target. Some many years ago I tried
starting SVG Monger groups. We had a few meetings of Paris.sm but then
it petered out. The people who attended were mostly Perl people who
came in for the beer and interesting chat, but only used so much SVG.
I agree that piggy backing other user groups is a more viable option
for the moment.

Wade: if that's the goal I would focus the outreach effort on groups
that have technical meetings and not just social ones as they're more
likely to be able to pull off this sort of thing. One thing that would
be good outreach material to have is a prepared presentation on
"Practical SVG: The SVG You Can Use For Real Today" or something along
those lines that can convince people who don't necessarily care about
which tech is used that they can use SVG today, and not have to wait.
