We have some guidelines about groups:
- Group names should be brief and humble and avoid the used of the word Drupal. Some examples:
- Good: Installation. San Francisco
- Bad: Installation group. San Francisco League of Drupal fans
- Don't overlap much with an existing group. We want fewer big groups given a choice. Groups can split apart organically after some time.
- Provide meaningful description and welcome message.
- The focus of your group should be drupal related discussion. We don't host groups that discuss other topics like politics and fundraising. Drupal can be popular for powering sites like those, but thats beside the point. We discuss Drupal here, exclusively.
- Feel free to use your native language instead of English for all group fields, except for the title and the group description. Please provide these two fields in English in all cases.
- Almost all groups should be open. Use other choices only when needed.
- All groups are subject to approval by moderators. Please be patient.
- Groups should fall into one of three categories:
- working group coordinating on a Drupal feature, module, or distribution
- a geographical user-group such as users in a specific city or a Drupal event organizing group such as a DrupalCON organizing group
