Month Long Contribution Sprint Coming Up - Need quick moderation of the drupal group

I always thought of groups as a way to have multiple users share, conserve and discuss around a specific subject. So that the discussions are reaching the intended audience (the group here) and are structured around the subject in a "container".

Nice idea about creating an event node for this. I will do that, but that would really only be fit for announcing the event and not for engaging users in contribution and related discussions :-/

So for the purpose of having a month long contribution sprint, getting everybody to share what they are upto etc. I thought a new group be right. Does it still seam like the wrong use of groups?

I think a group is right where discussions around this event belong, but yes, after reading your comment I think the group type should be a 'event planning' and not a 'working group'. An event planning group by default would be focused on a specific event and a time.

I see a page not found on the group node that I had created - http://groups.drupal.org/node/180224
Should I go ahead with creating the group again with the correct type (event planning) so that it gets approved?

And another thought.. How about the group does not focus on Contribution only during this one month sprint, but exists around forever to bring together Drupalers from India region and houses contribution related discussions, collaborations, sharing etc?
