Does it even need to be useful?

IMHO, at least, part of the appeal of ~club is that very little of it
needs to have a "point". It just has to be interesting, or fun,
or something cool to play with. And as long as the admins can get a hold
of people (and vice versa), people are free to engage or not engage with
the rest as they wish.

Perhaps that could look like a tildeclub-announce list or newsgroup for
~official~ business and the rest being explicitly social spaces, I
dunno, but I'm not sweating any of it too much.
