Anyone got an opinion on converting the z/VM group into one for all operating systems available on mainframe, and if so, what will we call it, and what would be a good description.....anyone!
Finbar BurkeFrans, I agree 100%, if a bunch of people show up to post on topic X in the future than we'll make the group for X, I'm going to get an admin feature added to allow for posts to be moved to different group, that way if we do create a more granular group all relevant posts can be moved, or stuff posted directedly to the news feed can be moved (but still in the feed)

Cameron, TBH, it's the decision of you guys, there are several here who have come on board with this project (I ain't going to start naming names in case I miss anyone out but you know who you are!!!) Like I keep saying I just put up some software to make a platform, this is all about the members wishes, I'm guided by you. But we can split groups in the future and move the historical posts accordingly when the time comes.
TBH (again) I'd really like some help on what groups to have in these early days, bearing in mind that we can split them down in the future.
Cam, bet I can make all of the people happy (at least some of the time)
Frans BeylTo much detailed groups will generate a long groups list in the featured groups widget.

This list is far from complete and already you can see the danger to end up with a too long list. I fear the more users register the longer the list will become. Group dropdowns with subgroups hierarchie can avoid this.

I understand the logic in terms of group organization, but z/VM (still VM to the old heads) IMHO needs it's own focus. It created OS virtualization and most folks don't know that.
