Schoolforge != Schoolforge-UK. Basically, Schoolforge-UK has projects, 
helpers and developers, but no campaign management functions, nor any 
general membership system (basically your education network idea), nor 
any viable entity to do such things, nor many links outside the 
education field. I think such things are best done by an AFFS EdIG and 
contributed to Schoolforge-UK because we already have the parts and/or 
needs for them and I don't see what they would gain from duplicating 
them. Each group should do what it is good at.

We probably have other tasks that an AFFS EdIG should do, too. The 
aims of the two groups are similar, but not a 1-1 mapping and I think 
any suggestion to change either set of aims to be a 1-1 mapping would 
be unpopular.
