Description
Would it be possible to add a feature where Organic Group Admin's, or members of a group to message the group?
Would you like this to be part of the module. If so would you like to create it or should I develop it and submit a patch?
If you would not like it as part of a module I will create a module for it myself as it is needed by a customer.
Keep up the good works.
#1
This is an often requested feature, and we already thought about how to do it. See also #555016: Planning for sending messages to roles..
The thing is, I'd like a way that would allow other types of groups too (roles, og, user relations, flags, whatever...) and we haven't found a solution yet that allows that.
Feel free to provide a solution, either as a separate module or a patch against privatemsg.module. Even if it does not match the above requirements, I'm sure some users would use it anyway and we can improve it to be more flexible at a later point.
#2
Thanks for the reply. I will see what I can come up with over the next week or so.

Great. If you have any questions (It's not an easy feature if you want to do it well) feel free to ask them here or join #drupal-games and I'll try to help out as much as I can.

Code wise I have not started as not been commissioned to do the work yet. I may start in my own time as it would be a good feature to have.
Feature wise I feel I need the following:
Can anyone think of anything I have missed?

Other ideas (some you might be interested in)
- Don't allow reply to all (You don't want that users can send messages to all others)
- Performance: Make sure things work out with big groups/sites
- Display of many users. If you send a message to a group consisting of 1000 users, you don't want that all of the show up on the view messages thread and show just the group name instead.

Sadly I won't be able to start on this work until January as the project date has been pushed back until then. Once January comes and the funding is available I will start.
