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.
And lastly any attempts to use the panels interface to setup anything else on our front page doesn't seem able to only pull in posts relevant to our group, which is really frustrating (if there is a good how to somewhere, please advise with url).
Sorry for the overall rant tone of this post, but I'm very frustrated with usability on g.d.o. Is there a better forum to discuss these sorts of things? If so I'm happy to take this there.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry to hear your experience has been frustrating. You seem to have encountered several bugs all at once - lucky you ;)
It is really not possible to delete nodes. I edited the poll to open it.
I fixed the alias. I'm not sure what causes that, it seems to be a mix of og, og_panels, pathauto and path_redirect. I've only seen it once before so it's hard to prioritize fixing it.
When I look at your homepage it is a panel and it's all posts from your group. I'm not sure I understand the question. Maybe create a pane that shows the problem, link to it, and we can debug that?
This is the right forum for these kinds of questions.

Ok, first thanks for fixing
Ok, first thanks for fixing the first 2 issues. Now onto panels customization.
Here are a few things I've tried. I want a panel item that shows all our active signups. There seems to be a view in the panels interface that gives that, but no matter what options I display for it, it doesn't show anything. I'd also like to have panel elements for jobs that is actually constrained to our group, not showing all the job listings on the site (which our current Jobs tab does). Getting discussions (or any other content type by type just for the group), most recently poll, and similar things into panel elements would be really useful, and something I have not figured out how to do via the g.d.o interface.
By "active signups" do you
By "active signups" do you mean events with open signups or the people who are signed up. The latter is not possible, currently and may never be. The former is not currently possible.
For the second piece, you can do the "og_content_list" view and add an argument of "jobs."

I'm looking for the former,
I'm looking for the former, events with open signups. What does signup_available_signups view do then?
That's part of what I talk about with usability. As one of the major use cases of g.d.o is to organize face to face groups, making it easy to highlight events (especially ones that need RSVPing for counts) and syndicate them (via iCal, as it is date information) would seem like first order activities. Once you've spent a couple of months using g.d.o you can figure out how you figure it out, but that's not very good at capturing new users.
Another aspect of this is the style sheet associated with og_content_list. If you use any header formatting in posts it becomes really unclear very quickly about where a post begins and the next one ends. The whole thing becomes an odd mash. It would be really good if groups had more control over that. If there was a way to add custom css that would help a lot, and I could then fix these kinds of display issues from my side.
Is there someplace where future enhancements to g.d.o are planned?
You can create a list of
You can create a list of events similar to my answer in the previous comment:
But do "event" instead of "job". This won't do a filter for "signup enabled with open signups" because that filter is not available to views. It's not a g.d.o thing it's a signup thing. I created an issue for it.
Regarding making improvements, you can brainstorm them here and plan/work on them here: http://drupal.org/project/groupsdrupalorg

panel elements for jobs that is constrained to our group -Solved
greggles,
Like sdague I would like to create a panel element for jobs that is constrained to our group. I would like to get to what this page has http://groups.drupal.org/nyc for job postings I tried your solution and it did not work for me. Either with display default or node title list for og_content_list nothing displays at all with either
I did manage to track down who created the panel for the NYC group site ( ezra-g ) he couldn't remember exactly how he did it but was kind enough to offer to post the solution if I would post the question here.
When I came here and almost immediately came across your post I thought I had found nirvana but sadly it did not work.
I think what ezra-g used is og_recent_type_term sorted by hot in any case that didn't work either.
Any help you and / or ezra-g might be able to give me to reach my goal would be greatly appreciated.

I solved it, the argument should be "job" not "jobs"
