I would prefer .events to .meetings, as eventually people will want
to submit all sorts of articles that might not be appropriate for
a group called .meetings.  Then you'll have to deal with them when
they get all huffy and start to claim that you're censoring them
and all that sort of thing.  I find avoiding aggravation to be far
more preferable to ignoring it once it presents itself.
