This is a great SharePoint template for a club, user group,  or even as a general workspace.  Some enhancements over a standard team site include the following: 
a)View All Site Content - has been moved to the Site Actions tab drop-down which is exactly where it should be;
b)Sign-up Survey - a survey is used to enable users to request registration with anonymous priviledges without others being able to see their request;
c)Icons/links on home page - provides quick access to key parts of the site and RSS feeds; d)Look and feel - overall a very nice master page layout and color scheme. 
This is an open source project on Codeplex and is being split up into a number of divisions.  More information is available on Codeplex.
