Re: Local User Groups

Sounds good,

Let's put a link "Looking to start a new User Group? Here's how.
<https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/UserGroupOperatingManual> " to this page:
https://www.postgresql.org/community/user-groups/

Quick question,
Happy to look into phrasing on wiki, however, I don't actually have access
to edit there. Do you know who can help with that?

thanks,
Valeria
