The Creation of Groups and Forums

    This discussion came about with @kmorros learning the ropes of creating new Groups and Forum spaces.

    I want to clarify what the process will be for that as we expand the beta and after we go Live.

    The standard user will not have the ability to create Groups or Forum spaces. Only site Admins have that ability (of which @kmorros is).

    We will launch with a more narrowly defined set of spaces for the most common and in demand types of discussion and content.

    As the community grows, they can Message the Moderators to inquire about becoming a community leader in a new Group or Forum. This is a space they can foster, moderate, control membership (if a private Group), etc. For example, if we wanted a space for Military, it should probably be lead and managed by a member of the Military (retired or active).

    Or we may add more Groups/Forums based on observing how the community operates. For example, we notice in the General forum there is a topic that seems to overwhelm all other discussion. That probably justifies its own dedicated forum.
