Very much agreed. Couple o questions:

- Is Dgroups something that fulfils these requirements?

(http://wikis.bellanet.org/floss-dgroups/index.php/Dgroups_installation)

- Is there some jiggery pokery that could be done with mailhandler etc to
achieve the same kinda thing?

- Just reviewed the thread discussing on going development of OG, and I'm
wondering if perhaps another perspective is to look at
automated/integrated installs of full Drupals. Ie much of the direction
seems to be (understandably) to give sub-communities as much full
functionality as possible. Networks within networks and all that, where
the key aspect is that users can easily provision and use them on site.

Therefore it's like evolving OG to be a mini Drupal within a Drupal, so to
speak, and so perhaps there's an argument for having a feature where
instead you simply provision a full Drupal install to be sub-part of an
existing community, in the same way..?

It could be pre-configured with all the required modules/features, and
that way they would get all the functionality they want?

Cheers, Neil.
