General
Organic group were chosen so far as being PWG groups and key groups in STAR. Later, this may include detector sub-systems. In general. OG will be used to "hide" or group documentation not necessarily accessible by others non-subscribers but its use is more extended as described below.
Organic group possibilities
- Allow grouping post together and keeping tracks of things per groups (each group have separate XML feeds)
- Allow to customize area via themes. An image could be loaded per Group. Other usage could be developed/thought about. For example, the menu box could be moved up/down by modifying a "weight" for a different template, images included, background picture, watermark used and so on. The limit is your imagination. Drupal provides base theme templates here. But before getting carried way, please consult the Themes page for more information.
- A group could be globally moved (its entire structure could become the root of anew tree). Porbably not something we want to do ...
- Subscriptions to a "group" could be handled per group. Options are:
- open - subscription requests are accepted immediately
- moderated - subscription requests must be approved.
- invite only - subscriptions must be created by an administrator.
Currently, all are opened. - A group could be globally managed by a given user
- A group may contain its own agenda, meeting, polls, blogs etc ... [actually, I think this is an overkill and will probably suppress some when I find how to do that]
