I do recall that we looked at NUG as XUFers at at one point, and akm 
said it looked like it'd be compatible, although we still needed UI for 
groups in XUF.  Nobody has done this, incidentally. :-)  I'm not 
convinced that it'll go so well with other user folders.

My gut feeling is that while groups are a very, very good thing (we NEED 
them here), and I'd love to see them in Zope 2, I think the issue of 
compatibility with all the other user folders out there is going to be a 
huge sore spot.

So, -1, unless you can prove to me that every user folder on zope.org 
that hasn't already been obsoleted due to Zope changes will also work 
with NUG integrated (and the unfortunate fact that everyone probably has 
to change UI probably makes that a non-issue.)  This coming from a guy 
who really wants groups. :-/
