The group to discuss the use of groups.drupal.org. This is for active users of the site, group admins, and maintainers to collaborate on how to improve the groups.drupal.org site. There is also a Maintenance group for people who help maintain the site, such as those with editor permissions, or those are interested in the maintenance of the site. More specific issues should be posted to the groups.drupal.org project issue queue.

Thank you & best wishes!

Better support for RTL/Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew) on drupal.org and groups.drupal.org
Last updated by silverwing on Wed, 2013-12-11 23:13
People in many countries speak in variations of these three languages (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew). groups.drupal.org also currently hosts local groups from these countries and they all have trouble using their local language in order to support local Drupal users.
More info : What languages are read from right to left And also some backgrounds better support for Arabic & Persian languages on drupal.org and groups.drupal.org

How to use Pages properly?
I've been searching for information on Views 2 and Groups, but only find information that seems related to programming...
I want to do a very simple thing...
I created a page called "Empregos" (Jobs) on the group "Portugal":
http://groups.drupal.org/portugal/empregos
And want to list only the jobs related to Portugal. The URL for the filtered job page is this:
http://groups.drupal.org/jobs?group_nid=956

Static page vs. wiki page
Currently it's possible to create a wiki page on g.d.o. Although it acts like a wiki page (anyone can edit), it looks more like a personal page due to the profile picture and the "submitted by" text. I believe this discourages people from editing wiki pages. Now that we have a Revisions tab, maybe it's about time to remove the profile picture and the "submitted by" text.
Read moreRoles at g.d.o
I recently got the admin role in the Sweden group, but I cannot find any information about what an admin is supposed to do. Is there any page describing this? I noticed some changes such as the permission to edit any post, using panels etc, but it would be great to have a complete list of the permissions and responsibilities of an admin.
Perhaps the about page could include a section describing the different roles at g.d.o such as Webmaster, Group Manager, Admin, Authenticated User and Anonymous User.

Changing Group Managers
It's probably not a big deal, but the manager of the accessibility group at the moment has been completely absent from the discussions. I don't necessarily need or want to be the manager, but I'd love to have someone who is actively involved in the discussion be listed.
I'm not really sure what if any rights the manager has. I had tried to set up a group for Government that was denied last year. Fortunately, two groups for government have since been set up, so policies seemed to have shifted.
Read moreA Wiki Needs Versioning By Definition
I asked for this earlier with Drupal 5 but was informed that there was a bug somewhere so that proper Drupal versioning wasn't going to be possible until the upgrade to Drupal 6. I think most of the wrinkles to the upgrade have now been ironed out (and I'm sure it wasn't easy).
I need to ask again to enable versioning for the wiki's (if not other content types). It's a core aspect of being a wiki to know who made what change when. I set one up ages ago here to build a collaborative document and figured that nobody looked at it at all (until @v told me he'd edited it at DCDC).
Read moreIdeas on improving G.D.O. as a platform for arranging Drupal Camps
In the midst of organizing NYC's drupal camp, I thought I should start making some notes on the challenges I've found in using G.D.O. as a platform for arranging the event. In the past we've used barcamp.org and had long soul-searching discussions about the possibility of using an external website, but for the last couple of camps we've kept it at G.D.O.
The largest challenge was managing signups. It's possible to set a numeric limit on attendees, which causes signups to close when the limit is reached. At this point I created a new event to act as a waiting list.

More groups fixups - self serve for bakery synching!
The last few weeks have been busy for groups.drupal.org maintenance and the work came to a head today. As always, if you notice any problems please report them (here or in irc or via the infrastructure queue).
All synch requests completed (but not all accounts synched)
With help from Michelle and the normal g.d.o admins we were able to synch all the accounts that had requested a synch the proper way. But, there's still thousands more who need help.
Bakery has better help messages and self serve!

Group's 'Faces' tab missing members
I manage the Western Montana group (thanks to whomever for finally approving us, by the way!) The group's block shows we have 7 members, but the Faces page shows only 4 members. The list tab seems to correctly show all the members.
I use OG on a pretty large SocNet site, but I've never seen this before. Any idea what's up?
Thanks for all the hard work the g.d.o. team puts in to give us a great home here!
Read moreGroup Moderation Discussion
Peter Wolanin and I are planning to meet in #drupal-groups on Wednesday at 1PM Eastern Time for about an hour to review groups in the moderation queue. Many of these groups are easy to accept/reject because they clearly make sense or don't based on our guidelines. But some require more thought and a judgment call. This meeting has two agenda items:
- Review the guidelines for no more than 15 minutes.
Map displaying all events
Now that g.d.o has been upgraded to D6 is there any chance of creating a location based map for all events? Something like the map in http://central.wordcamp.org/ but with some views filtering options would be very cool way of browsing events and quite easy to implement. We are starting to have so many Drupal events every year that it's difficult to keep track on what's going on. Map with filtering by event type and dates would be a huge improvement on usability.

Another one bights the dust.
----- Cross posted to the marketing group since GDO is a marketing tool -----
In the past 30 days I have become aware of THREE groups that have either stepped away from GDO, are about to step away from GDO, or are confused on what to do with GDO.
http://groups.drupal.org/chicago ~ Doesn't use GDO invite system to register for events. They use MeetUp.Com They do post event news on GDO but it it often in a digest form on a post that contains other topics and announcements.
