I have created this page. Could someone approve it. Please review and provide feedback on this popular module.

Organic Groups enable users to create and manage their own 'groups'.

Each group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate amongst themselves. They do so by posting the usual node types: blog, story, page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which facilitates these posts. The block also provides summary information about the group. Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval in order to become a member.

You can:

* enable organic group permissions at administer >> access.
* administer organic group at administer >> settings >> og.
* create organic groups at create content >> group.
* disable commenting and attachments for nodes of type group at administer >> content >> configure >> content types >> group.
* enable group details block, group subscriber block, new groups block, and my groups block at administer >> block.
* subscribe to groups by selecting the subscribe link group block.
* enable images in the group details block if you have the image module installed.
* enable group albums block if you have image and folksonomy module installed.

" disable commenting and attachments for nodes of type group at administer >> content >> configure >> content types >> group."

Didn't this move for Drupal 4.7 to admin->settings? Which begs the question whether or not any new module documentation should be written for 4.7?

It's 4.6 until somebody starts tagging modules 4.7.

Ok, latest update of Organic Groups.

Organic groups enables users to create and manage their own groups. Community members often want to self organize or spontaneously organize around a topic of interest. Allowing communities to organize naturally is important part of a healthy community.

An organic group is created by the group owner, which has special permissions includin the ability to delete a group. Group admistrators also have special permissions but can not delete the group unless they are assigned to be the group owner. Each group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate amongst themselves. They do so by posting the usual content types: blog, story, page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which links to these posts and actions. The block also provides summary information about the group. Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval by the group administrator in order to become a member.

You can:

* enable organic group creation and administration permissions at administer >> access.
* create organic groups at create content >> group.
* view a list of organic groups at groups.
* administer organic group at administer >> settings >> og.
* disable commenting and attachments for nodes of type group at administer >> content >> configure >> content types >> group.

If you feel it is ready, if you want to assign this to me, once we come up with the version standard, I'll come back and update it and post it.

Group admistrators also have special permissions but can not delete the group unless they are assigned to be the group owner.

They do so by posting the usual content types: blog, story, page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page links to these group specific posts and actions. The block also provides summary information about the group. Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval by the group administrator in order to become a member.
