Connecting all the HUGs can give a strong sense of unity, and could
help create an ecosystem that is less vulnerable to fragmentation.
There are other potential benefits for the project as a whole when
seen from the POV of marketing and communications with the overall
community, but this not that relevant to web stuff that this list is
generally concerned about.

I would not put it in terms of attempting to regulate or control the
HUGs. This is open source and we can't force people into doing stuff.
:)
However, I do think there are legitimate reasons for at least
attempting to have HUG guidelines.
One aspect is regarding the protection of our trademarks, as it
relates to the use of the Haiku brand in domains names and how the can
be generally perceived. This is more or less analogous to (although
slightly different from) the use of the name Haiku in distros.
The other and perhaps more important aspect is that of creating an
ecosystem that conveys a strong sense of unity and identity with the
project.
