And another thing, in your write-up referring to the dutch group, you say, "everyone who is anyone" can be there . This is kind of high school, eh?
I didn't mean it in that way, not in terms of social status. What I meant is that if you meet someone on-wiki in Dutch Wikipedia, then it is (often, not always, but very often) easy enough to agree to meet them in person at the next meetup.
Unless you are working on geographically local content (San Francisco stuff for example), it's unlikely that a friend you made while working on, say... differential equations... is going to happen to be in the same city, in English Wikipedia.
I don't think this is an obstacle to local chapter formation, by the way. It just means that it's different...
