I'm unclear on what this module does and why it does it. I have an issue I'm looking to solve and this might help, but I can't get my head around what this module is for. Could you give a use case and/or provide demo? Thanks.

jamesJonas commentedWhile your working on the Demo, what would be the use case for this module? Just a few sentences would be helpful. I think, just by the name, that one can create a 'Author Group', or a group that is co-publishing, which then is assigned to content instead of an individual user. I'm I even close?

robertgarrigos commentedSorry, not quite.
Imagine you have a web site with few groups and a user is subscribed to some of them. When he wants to publish a new post he will need to choose the groups where that post will be published to. Those groups will appear as tags in that post. I had a client that needed to mark very clear, as well, what was the originating group, this is, the group which is authoring that post. With this module the user would have to choose the 'authoring group' for that new post at the add post form. The author group, then, appears as a separated tag.
It is a very simple module but needed by a client of mine, so here it is for the community.

gustav commentedYes, that explanation is very clear. It might be useful to others if you could add it to the modules page at http://drupal.org/project/og_author. Thanks.
