Groups.drupal.org

In taking a look at the contributed Event module, I noticed that its latest release is 4.7.x-1.x-dev. I also noticed that g.d.o's About page does not list the Event module.

What does g.d.o use for its members to post events? If it does use the Event module, how is that possible since g.d.o runs on 5.x and the Event module is still 4.7.x?

Thanks,
Walt

Has anyone had any success getting bloglines to read the myunread feed (or any of the personalized tracker feeds)? I understand authentication is needed, and I have tried the form:

http://myaccount:mypass@groups.drupal.org/group/myunread/feed

but no luck. It just says "No feeds were found. Please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed."

As of today, g.d.o now has 10,385 group subscriptions! Surpassing 10,000 is, in my opinion, an important milestone that warrants a note of congratulations!

g.d.o will, in my opinion, continue to grow and improve. Thanks to everyone who has helped make it the incredibly useful and productive community that it is. I'm proud and happy to be a part of it. A particular note of thanks goes, of course, to Moshe.

Two problems I have noticed with the 5.0 upgrade of groups.drupal.org is that the href for the favicon is blank, and events don't seem to work. An example of one such event is at http://groups.drupal.org/node/2207

There has been some recent work analyzing the growth on drupal.org, and I think we should do something similar for groups.drupal.org.

I would be interested in charts/histograms showing the distribution of:

1. Groups by number of subscribers
2. Groups by posts/week in the past three months
3. Users by number of subscriptions (without identifying information)
4. Users by number of posts (without identifying information)
5. Users by number of posts (without identifying information)
6. Total posts over time
7. Total posts per week over time
8. Total groups over time
9. New groups per week over time
10. Median subscriptions per user over time

Did I forget anything or should some of these be removed/tweaked? I am willing to generate the charts if someone can run the queries, and I can figure out the exact sql queries if needed.

Could someone please take a look at my post on drupal.org and post a reply?

Thank you!

Someone asked "How do I find Drupalers in my country." and it sparked a few comments here:

I noticed that on drupal.org's "my account" info under the "Personal information" tab, there is a "Country" drop-down menu where I was able to specify my country.

It would be great to "poll" the groups.drupal.org community to see what it would like added to groups.drupal.org's "my account" profile tabs.

So if some admin would create the functionality that would be wonderful.

Hi all,

I want to set up group subscriptions at subdomain groups.mysite.com while allowing the main part of my web site to offer basic info about my organization at mysite.com. A perfect example is groups.drupal.org and drupal.org.

So, I visited groups.drupal.org's About this site page and, under "Code", read that the groups.drupal.org site "runs a Drupal 4.7".

1. Does this mean that groups.drupal.org has a separate Drupal 4.7 installation from drupal.org? In other words, do I need two (2) uploads of Drupal 4.7 to my web server, that is, one 4.7 installation for OG running at subdomain groups.mysite.com and another 4.7 installation for the main site mysite.com?
