Groups.drupal.org
The group to discuss the use of groups.drupal.org. This is for active users of the site, group admins, and maintainers to collaborate on how to improve the groups.drupal.org site. There is also a Maintenance group for people who help maintain the site, such as those with editor permissions, or those are interested in the maintenance of the site.
The guidelines for creating groups should be revised.
The guidelines presented on the group creation page do not fall in line with the approval process being enforced.
Specifically:
Groups should fall into one of three categories:
working group coordinating on a Drupal feature, module, or distribution
a geographical user-group such as users in a specific city
or a Drupal event organizing group such as a DrupalCON organizing group
I was just denied / had a group deleted because there weren't enough people "around" my module:
Another abuse of the Job content type
User: http://groups.drupal.org/user/1478508
Acct Age:15 days
Post: http://groups.drupal.org/node/201803
Grievance:
1. the post is not a job it's a solicitation for work
2. the call to action is to visit the company site which is a horrible looking static html site [ok I'm just being picky on that one LOL]
3. After touting its "Drupal Module" development skills the site continues that the company provides the following non-existent services: [Drupal Extensions Development, Drupal Component Customization, Smarty Templates]
policy for job postings
I want to once again raise an issue about what should be considered on-topic and acceptable for job postings in this group (and this site in general).
This has been discussed a number of times in the past in NYC meetups and IRC (and probably here in the group). It seems that almost every time this has been motivated by the same recruiter.
Can we somewhere explicitly state that job postings are for people to post positions available, not for recruiters to post info about people they represent that are looking for jobs?

I don't see any options that may address it, how can I fix this?
Thanks for any help!

Group deletion
Hello,
We want to open a discussion about the group deletion.
We are a group of Drupal project divelopers with more then 300 members all over the world (12 languages speaking)
For the last 10 days we traing to open a group in you drupal site for joining you projects.
But every time we are deleted by contect moderator. And get this note:
Stop Receiving Job Postings...
My least favorite thing about groups.drupal.org are the job postings. I can't find any way to remove or prevent this. This would be a really nice addition. I can't imagine this is a major change to add considering jobs are a content type.
Should all groups be "open"? What are valid reasons to make a group "closed"?
(Cross-posted because this is a g.d.o management issue as well as a g.d.o usage issue.)
I've noticed that several groups on g.d.o are set as closed membership (i.e., g.d.o members can't just join, they have to ask to join or be invited to join).
Very partial list of some closed groups, for illustration
How to delete nodes from a group, and other usability issues?
Is it really not possible to delete nodes from a group? Over on Hudson Valley group I created a poll, which apparently freaked out and closed itself when I tried to give it a more descriptive title. It's now cluttering up our front page with no way to remove it.
We've also got a bizarre issue where our url is now http://groups.drupal.org/home due to a bad edit at some point, with no clear way of making it a more descriptive url.
Correct template file naming
I need to add script from Typekit to enable their webfont service.
When I was using 6x Fusion, I copied the page.tpl.php file into my sub-theme and added to the head in the copy. I was going to do the same with my Omega 7x sub-theme. But it appears that the html.tpl.php is the correct template copy over.
With Omega do I need to do anything different as far as renaming this copy? From what I can tell Omega seems to use a more exact naming conventions.
main wrapper
Is there a main wrapper div already in place? I'm asking as I want to use full background images and colors and I can't seem to see anything in the UI for the zones and regions where I can spec a main wrapper.
Is this something that runs contrary to the responsive design of Omega?
Or do I need to add it in a template file, if so where and how?
Thanks!
PS
Is the answer just to use the page div as shown below? Or is there a better way? I've been used to using Fusion in D6, which had main wrapper divs.
Here's what I found so far:
Drupal products summit
I'm considering organizing a Drupal products summit some time this fall. The main purpose of the meeting would be to create a knowledge sharing platform for Drupal shops/individuals that are working on a product: anything built with Drupal that has a repeatable business model (can be specialized services for Drupal shops, distributions, applications, websites built with Drupal that target a certain market segment).
The main practical outcomes I hope to achieve with this meeting are:
- The creation of a workgroup that will build an ethical Drupal Application Store
- Increase of knowledge about lean startup methodologies in the Drupal community
- Strengthening the network of Drupal product companies and the creation of a mutual support community

Applying any additional CSS to groups page?
Is there any way to add some additional CSS to a group page on groups.drupal.org? I'd like to add some personalization to our Hudson Valley, NY drupal group. Thanks in advance.
Demographics Group Type
As I am new to Drupal and while looking for groups to help me learn and find contributions for my particular needs I was surprised to find no "Demographic" Group Type. Of the five types that do exist Geographic, Event Planning, Archive, Distribution and Working Group - none work serve Demographic based websites or development.
Editors: start your aggregating
Greg Dunlap (heyrocker) wanted to have a feed of issues show on the homepage for the configuration/uuid group.
Events on g.d.o. use cases
Below is a dump of use cases that vistiors, users and camp organizers might need for Events functionality on g.d.o. that webchick, jerdavis and I came up with in IRC. :
Please add your own, and if some kind soul could also tidy this up, that would be super.
Event use cases

- I am traveling to a strange new city, and want to easily find out if there are any events happening while I'm there.
wikipages proposal
At the moment wikipages at groups.drupal.org show the name and picture of the author, as well as the date of creation of the wikipage.
For wikipages this is maybe a bit confusing and static. Usually a wikipage is edited by multiple authors, it would make more sense to show no author at all (in the version list you an see a list of all contributed authors). Also, the date of creation doesn't reflect the date of last update what would make much more sense for a wikipage that is (hopefully) continu in progress.
