Defunct/broken links on User Groups
Looking for in-person user groups, I tried some nearby links on the User Groups page (https://clojure.org/community/user_groups) but they turned out to be no-longer-functioning. Then I tried pretty much all of North America...
Problem: good links on this page are like needles in a haystack
Problem: purpose of the page is unclear - I came to it looking for a current-meetup menu, but it also could be taken as a show of historical respects or a menu of mailing lists of historical record
Problem: incremental upkeep feels awkward / possibly unfair without a stated standard of liveness.
Suggestion:
1. Unceremoniously delete the truly, technically broken links (404, group not found, server not found)
2. Facilitate timely upkeep by stating a standard of "liveness" at the top of the page near "how to get your group added"
