Thanks Christopher:

We are actually already on the wiki from before. We haven't setup a
website so it just points to our facebook page. If we put up a
webpage, I will probably ask to have the link changed then. Eventually
I will want to stop paying meetup so I don't want to bother changing
the link to that.
