Well, you posted that 18 months ago but its still true. How to organise? -- AC
Changed Main.TwikiAdvocacy to Codev.TWikiAdvocacy, so as to link to the (now) pre-existing topic. As for the location data idea...interesting, but perhaps less than completely feasible? I don't know about worldwide users, but for the USA at least you could map TWikiUsersToZipCodes for a decent, compact, processable location list. Any better ideas?

I think most of the creators of the groups have not read the IMPORTANT NOTE ? All the groups are closed an write protected
It would be nice to join one of the groups, for example the DeutschsprachigeTWikiUserGroup , but I would have named it GermanTWikiUserGroup . And it should be open, so users can add themself.

I agree I find the inability to add yourself to groups or create new groups a nuisance but I guess the reason for this imposed discipline it that it means the groups which do exist really do exist and do something

Now we have a simple way to list and create TWiki groups.

Thanks Aurelio. We will take this into CairoRelease after some tweaks by WillNorris and me.

Doing my 1st upgrade to CairoRelease I noticed that this topic had changed. Is it now the case that any page ending in "Group" is now listed here, and that this could modify the effective groups present on a system at upgrade? e.g. because some of them had been removed from the TWikiGroups page but still had a page (e.g. SomeUnusedGroup).
If so, perhaps we should add something to the TWikiUpgradeGuide or UpgradeTWiki about this.

I made the search a little bit more strict by search all *Group topics for string "Set GROUP" instead of "GROUP". This should reduce the chance of hitting a topic by mistake (but does not solve the SomeUnusedGroup example)
I added a note to the TWikiUpgradeGuide.

moved create group form to top as it gets lost when there are a lot of groups and because it's small.
