First of all, great work with the new modules!

One of my goals with adding Rules to Signup module was to be able to bulk add users with the help of a view and Views Bulk Operations.
I got that sorted out with these patches:
#242720-8: Mass/bulk user signup
#972254-10: Allow administrators to add users after signup have closed

I know it is not really a Signup Rules issue, but maybe these patches could be implemented in Signup Rules?

Interesting! These will be next on my list. Currently I'm improving the mail signed up users action to limit it by attended or not attended, and porting that to Signup Status Rules to work with individual signup statuses as well. I'll probably be able to review these tomorrow and see if it should go in. Thanks!

And thank you for your work on this! I gave you credit on the project page as I was not the one that started this project. It had little movement for a long period, and luckily for others I needed this and Signup Status Rules for a current project! If you're interested in helping out more in the future and interested in working on the progress of the module let me know and you can join me.

Hmm... I reviewed the patches, and clearly they perform a very useful and important task. But it looks to me like this is an important and useful task that needs to be implemented in Signup module itself. As joachim mentioned at http://drupal.org/node/242720#comment-1973266, this is critical functionality for the Signup module to have, and it's tempting to provide it with my own powers as a maintainer of a related module. However, I just don't think it's within the scope or the responsibility of Signup Rules to implement this. I think the best route would be to try to get the patch at #242720: Mass/bulk user signup committed. I can't imagine why they would reject it.

I did, however, like the idea of forcing a signup regardless of the signup status of a node. I implemented this in an action form setting and committed it to 6.x. So I'm going to call this fixed and thanks for the idea! I sincerely hope that patch gets committed to Signup soon though. It will be a tragedy if it doesn't.

What might be an interesting solution is to implement this in Signup Multiple. The module needs some work, but it is looking for a new maintainer. Maybe it could be taken over and the current multiple node signups could be altered to use VBO and then sign up multiple users actions could be added to that module. That I think could be an ideal situation for these patches if they aren't accepted in Signup.
