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

Posted by hanno on March 17, 2011 at 8:58pm

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.

Spamming user

Posted by laken on December 10, 2010 at 6:07am

Not sure if this is the right venue, but this newly-registered user: http://groups.drupal.org/user/354534
is leaving spam comments in my group (e.g. http://groups.drupal.org/node/103084#comment-357234) and I assume others as well.

Thanks!

Duplicate emails for group post notifications

Posted by kestonh on December 6, 2010 at 3:08pm

I've been receiving duplicate notifications for posts in the same group lately. It's not every message, but it is happening frequently. The messages have identical content, but the message IDs are different when I view source.

I've been dealing with a similar issue locally, so it was kind of nice to see it happening here. Has anyone else been receiving duplicate notifications from Groups.drupal.org?

Please delete abandoned group

Posted by zirvap on November 28, 2010 at 6:12pm

Please delete http://groups.drupal.org/norway-support, and move all posts there to http://groups.drupal.org/norway

I've posted about the proposed deletion at http://groups.drupal.org/node/109139. I know that the policy for abandoned groups (http://groups.drupal.org/node/39596) says to wait for two weeks after posting the notice, but the group has been depreated for three years, and the group owner has replied in the thread, so I'll take the chance of asking for deletion right away. If the two week wait is still necessary, let me know, and I'll post a reminder in two weeks.

Being a little more specific with what GDO and groups themselves are about?

Posted by orbgasm on November 17, 2010 at 9:12pm

Upon visiting groups.drupal.org, the first thing people see is the mission statement at the top of the page:

"groups.drupal.org serves the Drupal community by providing a place for groups to organize, plan and work on projects. Real world local user groups (sometimes called meetups) and regional Drupalcamps in particular are encouraged to setup their online presence here."

How to remove posts that don't belong in group?

Posted by tom_o_t on November 17, 2010 at 7:58pm

Is there a way that we could allow Group organizers to remove posts that don't belong in a group?

This post was recently posted to groups.drupal.org/nyc - http://groups.drupal.org/node/107114

How to list the groups on the primary menu?

Posted by jp2020 on November 11, 2010 at 7:27am

I am anticipating this to be a basic question, but any pointers would be great appreciated.
Thanks,
JP

Change of email address on d.o. only recognized sporadically

Posted by laken on November 10, 2010 at 6:57am

Something is seriously weird with my email notifications from g.d.o. A few weeks ago I changed my email address on my d.o. profile, and now I'm getting notifications randomly sent to the old AND new address!

Adding Terms/Vocabs to Group??

Posted by himerus on November 4, 2010 at 9:14pm

I (along with a few others) have been asked to help better the groups page for our New Hampshire DUG.

I've setup multiple panels pages, and have been able to figure out most of the little details of setting up the panels (without knowing what the views are expecting) (thanks to some good posts in this group)

thank you

Posted by ssm2017 Binder on October 19, 2010 at 10:54am

hello
i would like to thank the g.d.o team for his great moderation job....
your shower is cool but so cold.

i have created a group related to a new module with the same name as the module one.
the group was rejected after few weeks telling me that discussion about modules groups should be in the module's queue list...

then, i have created another group about the global subject that the module integrates : "OpenSimulator"
OpenSimulator is an open source server system to manage 3d immersive virtual worlds compared to secondlife.

Real name not showing

Posted by tomsherlock on October 13, 2010 at 6:43pm

Where is the correct place to post an issue about the 'real name' field?

An associate attempted to update his real name on Drupal.org. However the 'real name' field continues to be blank for his Groups.Drupal account when displaying on a sign-up list.

Regards,
Tom

How-to video or web conference dedicated to using OG Panels on groups.drupal.org

Posted by christefano on October 11, 2010 at 8:19am

Would it be valuable to you, the group organizers and site admins on groups.drupal.org, to see a how-to video or participate in a live web conference and see how OG Panels on groups.drupal.org's "Pages" tabs can be used? I recently heard that the LA Drupal group's pages were helpful to organizers of a few regional groups, and I'd be happy to share what I know.

SEO for g.d.o

Posted by emmajane on August 6, 2010 at 1:36pm
Last updated by greggles on Wed, 2010-10-06 17:34

I started this as a comment over in the SEO group but I've copied it over here as some of the proposed changes will affect how this site gets used.

This is a wiki page. Please feel free to organize, edit, update and add to this list.

As I'm sure you know it's hard to optimize a site for everything. Some groups do exceptionally well in their search engine rankings. Most sort of suck. It'd be up to the individual groups to "fix" their keywords.

A few (basic) ideas to make the site more accessible to search engines:

Can't click on 1st 3-4 links in main column

Posted by kyle_mathews on August 1, 2010 at 3:58am

This is a pretty weird bug... I've tested and confirmed the problem in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera all in Linux. But on pretty much any page on g.d.o. I can't click on the first 3-4 links (though stuck links don't necessarily seem to be in a linear order) in the main column. Links after that seem to be working.

Merge Drupal skydivers into Drupalfit

Posted by greggles on July 25, 2010 at 4:03am

I think one group for sports in general is good enough - we've got http://groups.drupal.org/fit

displaying nodes in a table view

Posted by christefano on June 18, 2010 at 5:58am

Is it possible to have a table view of nodes in a group here on groups.drupal.org? This used to be possible, I think, but now I can't figure it out for the life of me. I just want a table view of a specific group's events rather than a list of teasers.

Adopt a Drupal Code of Conduct (#DCOC)

Posted by moshe weitzman on June 16, 2010 at 8:14pm

As our community grows, it is imperative that we preserve the what got us here. Namely, we keep Drupal a fun, welcoming, challenging, and fair place to play. IMO, we need to proactively state our shared ideals with respect to conduct. Think of this as coding standards for people :)

Our friends at Ubuntu have blazed a brilliant trail in this area. They use our CMS, and I propose that we use their Code of Conduct.

Creating official policies and procedures for local group admin/managers

Posted by alex ua on June 4, 2010 at 3:25pm

As some might be aware, the NYC group is again in the midst of a heated conflict over the behavior of members of the community, who also happen to be group "leaders" (more aptly, they are admins of the local g.d.o site). Unfortunately, the 'offending' group members keep on offending, and IMO this is exasperated due to a lack of official policies for local group conduct, procedures for dealing with local group admins/leaders, and someone (g.d.o admin, drupal association member, etc) empowered to deal with local group admins and issues.
