this is another interesting discussion "Relocalization Network beta launch, fork of organic groups"
http://drupal.org/node/22902
also some work towords "Show all content for a particular group (Organic Groups)?"
http://drupal.org/node/26559
this might be of some use "OG - Tweaking the UI for very large numbers of groups"
http://drupal.org/node/28224
sure wish we could sort search results on drupal.org *sigh*

quickie - change manager
just worked out something that wasn't intuitive to me - to change the owner of a group, change the author of the group homepage. requires administer node permissions.

Hide "no public posts in this group" message from og
This may have been answered somewhere else, I can't find it though, but is there a disable feature in groups that can hide this message? I see it in the module itself - line 1075 - but didn't want to comment it out unless I absolutely had to (for fear I'd forget the next time I updated).

Didn't find anything after searching the forums/issues areas so I ended up commenting out the message text output in og.module here lines 1080-1085:
From this:
$msg = t('No posts in this group.');}
else {
$msg = t('No public posts in this group.');
if (!$user->uid) {
$msg .= ' '. t('You must <a href="!register">register</a> or <a href="!login">login</a> and become a subscriber in order to post messages, and view any private posts.', array('!register' => url("user/register", $dest), '!login' => url("user/login", $dest)));
to this:
/** $msg = t('No posts in this group.'); **/}
else {
/** $msg = t('No public posts in this group.'); **/
if (!$user->uid) {
/** $msg .= ' '. t('You must <a href="!register">register</a> or <a href="!login">login</a> and become a subscriber in order to post messages, and view any private posts.', array('!register' => url("user/register", $dest), '!login' => url("user/login", $dest))); **/
Frustrating
I wish there was a good way to handle this problem. I chose to make string replace statements in my page.tpl.php file:
<?php$messages = str_replace("<div class=\"messages status\">\nNo posts in this group.</div>", '', $messages);
$messages = str_replace("<div class=\"messages status\">\nNo public posts in this group.</div>", '', $messages);
$messages = ereg_replace("<div class=\"messages status\">\nNo public posts in this group. You must <a href=\"/register\?destination=node\%2F".arg(1)."\">register</a> or <a href=\"/user/login\?destination=node\%2F".arg(1)."\">login</a> and become a subscriber in order to post messages, and view any private posts.</div>", "", $messages);
?>
Messy, but at least it does not involve hacking module code.
try string overrides
See also the string overrides module.
You can override any t("...") string with a different message, or blank I assume.
