Once upon a time, a developer named GreenJelly came to Groups.Drupal to write an article on how to make a Social Networking Unified Access Library (shameless plug http://groups.drupal.org/node/8371#comment-25572) and once he found the wonderful group that would support and talk about his idea, he would wonder around looking for a way to make a White Paper. At last, he was lost... He could not find a way to add a Article, he was stuck with a Story, and thus he wrote this fairy tail...

I think we should change it from Story to Article?

Hello, all,

I just created a poll at http://groups.drupal.org/node/8202 --

When viewing the page in FF 2.0.0.11, the list of groups overlaps the first line of the poll as seen here.

Targeting the poll-view-voting id by adding:

to the stylesheet resulted in this -- a vast improvement

There's probably a cleaner way to do this, but I'll leave that to the css gurus.

Cheers,

Bill

I committed new code to OG today and rolled it to this site. We are now capable of completely private groups. Although we always have supported private content in a group, the group homepage has always been public. Thats not so anymore. A group can choose to be private now. I don't expect much use for that here, except for private planning groups like Drupalcon, Google Summer of code mentors, and so on.

Please let me know if you see funny behavior related to posting content or creating groups.

This just came through on the webmaster list:

"I made my post about drupaled only to find a spam problem, enter the
gaphic. since I am blind I can not submit my post. this was the first time
I ran in to this in drupal. I was disappointed, why are you taking these
mesures when this is a system you have to log in to. I do understand
though. if you could post this for me in the drupaled thred I would
appreciate it. I would love to use this distro very baddly but need some
help."

Let's edit the help text for deleting a group. Right now, it says:

I'd like it to look more like:

Now that groups.drupal.org is using date.module for its events, we really need someone to help signup module understand this date format. Please read this issue and consider writing the patch.

I propose adding the following to the help text for the sitewide tags:

Multiple tags may be added. Tags are separated with a comma.

Currently, our event listing is a flowing river of information and it is quite hard to distinguish between different types of events. I proposed that we add an event type vocabulary, which allows events to be tagged as being of specific type. Let's collect the list we are interested in having for events:

• User group meeting
• Regional conference
• International conference
• Virtual meeting (IRC meetings, Drupal dojo)
• Training
