Just a minor question on group URLs and redirects. The default URL in all generated links to the Latin America group is http://groups.drupal.org/latino . There is a redirect from http://groups.drupal.org/latin-america (which can be added to links by hand), but the suitable way would be that, on the contrary, latin-america was the default URL, and latino the redirect (to avoid breaking old links).

Hello, all,

When adding new posts, I seem to have lost the ability to make posts publicly visible, even in groups I manage --

The checkbox (make this post public) is gone --

Is this a new change, or did I just miss the announcement?

And if this was a choice, can it be reconsidered, or what was the rationale behind it? IMO, we lose a lot of the potential to get more people into these communities of they can't see what's going on before they join.

We're at the Drupal.org redesign sprint at MIT and would like to close the Drupal.org Redesign Infrastructure Team group for good. Placing a sticky post at on the group home page may not be enough to prevent unwanted posts from being posted here. What's the procedure for moving posts or subscriptions to the implementers group?

Finally, I have publically posted a version of this site running on Drupal6. Some basics:

• Site: http://groupsbeta.drupal.org
• HTTP Auth: user=drupal, pass=drupal (protects site from search crawlers)
• Drupal login: Use your regular groups.drupal.org credentials.
• Bug reports - Please search for dupes and if none, create an issue.
• Feature requests - please don't file any now. We are focused on the upgrade.

Some notes:

1. Email has been disabled.
2. We are using a copy of groups.drupal.org DB. Feel free to mangle the content. I do testing in the Sandbox group out of habit.
3. All private content has been unpublished. We are not offerring private content on D6. We will soon post on front page about this and email all authors of private posts. You will have a chance to download your content or make it public. More info soon.
4. The job listing page will come back soon. I do hope this feature moves off of groups.drupal.org during the redesign.
5. We are using Solr powered search, and can facet by group, among other things. Thanks and respect to the apachesolr devs.
6. Panels powered group pages are gone for now. We need to finish this patch. Help wanted.

Can groups have feeds for their jobs, please?

KEJN0X: I'm trying to post an update & addition to a discussion via http://groups.drupal.org/node/18329/edit but, in pressing preview, it's causing the seemingly-fatal error quote[The spam filter that is installed on this site is currently not available. Per the site's policy, we are unable to accept new submissions until that problem is resolved. Please try resubmitting the form in a couple minutes.]; if I remove one of the tables in the content (specifically the new table labeled KEJ440), AND if I remove everything but this table, the error goes away & I can preview fine.

I just updated the following modules to their latest D5 releases. Please report any odd behavior.

• cck
• date
• calendar
• signup
• link
• token

I am working on the D6 upgrade for groups.drupal.org. At this point, it looks like the only stumbling block is panels for the custom group pages. If I can get panels and og_panels working for D6, I will deploy them in the upgrade. If not, we will temporarily lose that nice feature. I know, I know - this really really really sucks. No matter how many 'really' you add on there, I agree. But the fact remains that we are 50 weeks past the release of Drupal6 and Panels is at 6.x-2.0-alpha3 according to its project page. If this news upsets you, please grab a shovel and work the panels issue queue however you can. Help reproduce bugs or close down unreproducible ones. Help write patches, review patches, write docs, write unit tests, etc.

My timeframe for this D6 upgrade is within 2 weeks.

There's an apparent bug on the submission of new Events that I can't figure out. I've attached a screenshot for clarification. Is this a known bug?

I upgraded to latest OG and switched to its Notifications module integration. Please report oddness here. Thanks.

A few days I upgraded signup and modr8 modules. FYI.
