group creation

Hey "Local Users Group Organizers" gang! (and a few, select, cross posted groups)

If Spring is a season of rejuvenation in your part of the planet, then I hope yours is going better than it is here in Indiana. As the rains come and the grey clouds loom, I look forward to seeing the sun again AND to making efforts to grow the Local Drupal Users Group in my city.

Hello, all,

Recently, some folks at the National Writing Project (a non-profit organization supporting teacher professional development and supporting student writing) created a group here on g.d.o --

The NWP is made up of various chapters nationwide, and many of these chapters maintain a web presence. Currently, these chapters use an array of tools, ranging from Wordpress to Wikispaces to Joomla! to, that's right, Drupal.

I'm looking for a few volunteers to look at new groups as they are created and approve them when they meet these conditions:

• have readable names, descriptions, etc.
• are not overlapping too much with existing groups
• are properly categorized (working group vs. geographical group vs. ?)

These guidelines will be further developed over time. If you are interested, please reply here or send me an email. This will be a big gift to our community, and your name will be mentioned on the forthcoming About page.
