Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Is it possible for someone to make the Subscribers column at http://groups.drupal.org/groups sortable? I'm interested in quickly seeing the largest groups.

not possible

because of how views is architected, this is not possible. the subscriber count is a separate query from the query that retrieves the groups (i.e. a handler function manages the display of this field) . i don't know of an acceptable workaround for this.

I was curious and wanted to kill 5 minutes so...

In response to Group activity data analysis as well as the post Chris wrote above, I took a quick look at the groups and here's what I found via the the low tech and very old fashioned cut 'n' paste method. Feel free to correct any mistakes or accidental omissions.

  1. 621 - Drupal Dojo
  2. 366 - E-Commerce
  3. 334 - Contributed Module Status
  4. 305 - Theme development
  5. 289 - Content Construction Kit (CCK)
  6. 286 - Consulting and Business
  7. 245 - Community
  8. 236 - Javascript
  9. 236 - Social Networking Sites
  10. 197 - Designers and Information Architects
  11. 196 - Views Developers
  12. 181 - High performance

  14. 173 - Art & Music
  15. 170 - Profiles as nodes
  16. 165 - Relationships & site structuring
  17. 165 - Search Engine Optimization
  18. 159 - CiviCRM
  19. 159 - Events in Drupal
  20. 152 - Usability

  22. 147 - Internationalization
  23. 133 - Mapping
  24. 133 - Translations
  25. 131 - Image

Of course, the number of members a particular group has doesn't necessarily mean that group is any more or any less important than other groups. Groups are groups and all are important to the Drupal community.
