The challenge is to have a meet-up listing which is extremely easy to notice without having it take over the main page.
I don't know whether I'm typical, but I was reading (and, I think, commenting to) LW for quite a while before I noticed the right-hand column or those ghostly tabs at the top.
It's also important for it to be effortless for people to notice meet-up announcements for their area.
I suggest a permanent top of the main page post that just lists locations and dates for meet-ups, only a few lines long (more than one meet-up link per line). When necessary, it has a "more meet-ups" link at the bottom.
This is an excellent suggestion, and a really important point, which I for one had completely managed to miss until it was pointed out to me: when Nancy first made this comment in response to something I said about meet-ups I had a real moment of realisation that I'd been missing something important, important enough that I think it deserves bold font.
No-one will bother checking a "meet-up" section on the off-chance that there's a meet-up in their area, the meet-ups need to be viewable as part of the normal reading experience.
