The Documentation link in the Resources block on the OG project page points to the D6 documentation, should point to the starting page of the OG docs, here: http://drupal.org/node/1114858

Shouldn't there also be a link to THIS group on that Resources block the OG project page?

We should make a list of the most significant new features of OG 7.x and also how OG 7.x is different from OG 6.x . As I am now starting to explore the OG7.x branch, I can also contribute to such documentation as I discover it. However, as I have not used OG 6.x myself, the actual differences to that version is something I would like help identifying. I would be especially focused on the realm of security and workflow.
-
Can someone provide a summary description about the major bug that stopped OG Forum in its tracks, and how that is now regarded in the light of OG 7.x? Useful perspectives and insights for many people, I assume.

For my own project(s), there is one major area I am now going to explore to find out if OG can be used for: That is to provide people with a solution to handle their communication with an increasing network of people from one place, either by themselves, or with a group of helpers/moderators. This includes options to ensure one-to-one communication where the manager does not reveal the growing network to everyone. Each member should be communicating only directly with the manager of the site, at least as a possibility for some of them, in early stages. Then, from there things can be opened up by connecting people with each other, letting them into new groups depending on interests, project participation, roles, etc. But the main concern is that each new user and unknown new contact should start out with only the option to communicate with the manager, yet still be given easy access to existing content based on for example taxonomy and the like, without revealing the other web site users at that point. A CMS is the perfect tool for this, and Drupal is currently in the lead. :-) I intend to explore and document such possibilities, including what is needed of other modules to make OG work in this way. I will also be interested in funding extra efforts where we need to develop new functionality for this to be possible.

Write it:)
You should be able to edit and make the changes yourself. I worked on it awhile and got it a bit further, it looks as if someone else has since worked on it, and your suggestions are solid and will make it even better:) Welcome to the Doc team!

Im Sorry
I personally hate getting the response I gave you. Too essentially suggest that you do it. But the truth is that we are having a very difficult time documenting this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, that was the intention with this information
I meant to announce that I am now going to contribute to the docs myself as I continue, therefore this post here in this group. Not meant as a complaint about what others have or should have done.
I have no access to make changes to the OG project page, though, so my suggestions for that part is for someone else to consider. Nice with feedback on each issue, though, so making decisions becomes easier.
Hey
Ohh, sorry, no I did not think you where complaining, more that I had exhausted the knowledge I had on OG in my documentation, and even eventually stopped working on OG. Very few people have the experience to document that module. I also did not know that document was locked, so I would highly encourage that you submit a ticket in the Document Team Issue Queue for access to that document.
I wish I could help further, but I got to the point of My Own witts end with OG as I hit a few walls that prevented ME from moving forword:(

Any progress?
I'm getting a little addicted to using OG for mini sites and I've come up with some interesting techniques that I'm happy to share but I'm not sure if they are good practices. The last thing I want to do is suggest something that allows someone to paint themselves into a corner. That said, the more eyes looking at an issue the better the ideas to improve it.
So is there a documentaton working group to help improve the D7 documentation? I am only using OG in D7 and would be happy to help out.

There is a general Drupal Documentation group on D.O., and an IRC channel #drupal-docs. The pages are wiki's and you are ENCOURAGED to please (beg) write what you find. Dont worry about the validity of your idea's, since its a wiki it can evolve over time. I can assure you that the Doc Leaders will back you in your documentation pursuits, and if you need to there is the doc issue queue.
I am looking foreword to reading what you write, and though I wont have much to add at this point, Ill do my best to partake.
Have Fun
Mike
