Infrastructure that can be used in forming groups: |

*this Wiki, |
|||
*[[Mailing lists]], |
|||
*[[IRC]], |
|||
*[[EPals]]. |

This isn't an exhaustive list. |
|||
Groups might also [[Run_your_own_jabber_server|set up their own Jabber server]], since there isn't one set up for the owners as a whole, due to scale and cost issues. |
