This would be a good service for the umbrella groups to deal with.  At 
the Puget Sound Cohousing Network we have collected a variety of 
documents, legal, programming, vision statement etc. from the area 
groups  which we copy and send to groups forming in the Washington 
State area.  Since the best information for legal stuff is at the state 
level, the umbrella groups could handle this for their areas.  We 
started this at our annual meeting in March and I've done maybe a dozen 
docs since then, totally managable and I charge for cost and a postage 
and a small overhead. (actually I just round the cost up to the nearest 
 fifty cents)

Works for us,
