Ok, latest update of Organic Groups.


Organic groups enables users to create and manage their own groups.
Community members often want to self organize or spontaneously organize
around a topic of interest. Allowing communities to organize naturally
is important part of a healthy community.


An organic group is created by the group owner, which has special
permissions includin the ability to delete a group. Group admistrators
also have special permissions but can not delete the group unless they
are assigned to be the group owner. Each group can have subscribers,
and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate amongst
themselves. They do so by posting the usual content types: blog, story,
page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which links to these
posts and actions. The block also provides summary information about
the group. Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require
approval by the group administrator in order to become a member.


You can:


    * enable organic group creation and administration permissions at
administer >> access.
    * create organic groups at create content >> group.
    * view a list of organic groups at groups.
    * administer organic group at administer >> settings >> og.
    * disable commenting and attachments for nodes of type group at
administer >> content >> configure >> content types >> group.
    * enable group details block, group subscriber block, new groups
block, and my groups block at administer >> block.
    * subscribe to groups by selecting the subscribe link in the group
block.
    * create content, invite friends, manage subscriptions, view list
of subscribers, and see the group administrator in the group block.
    * enable images in the group details block if you have the image
module installed.
    * enable group albums block if you have image and folksonomy
modules installed.

I have created this page.  Could someone approve it.   Please review
and provide feedback on this popular module.


Organic Groups enable users to create and manage their own 'groups'.


Each group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where
subscribers communicate amongst themselves. They do so by posting the
usual node types: blog, story, page, etc. A block is shown on the group
home page which facilitates these posts. The block also provides summary
information about the group. Groups may be selective or not. Selective
groups require approval in order to become a member.


You can:


    * enable organic group permissions at administer >> access.
    * administer organic group at administer >> settings >> og.
    * create organic groups at create content >> group.
    * disable commenting and attachments for nodes of type group at
administer >> content >> configure >> content types >> group.
    * enable group details block, group subscriber block, new groups
block, and my groups block at administer >> block.
    * subscribe to groups by selecting the subscribe link group block.
    * enable images in the group details block if you have the image
module installed.
    * enable group albums block if you have image and folksonomy module
installed.

" disable commenting and attachments for nodes of type group at
administer >> content >> configure >> content types >> group."


Didn't this move for Drupal 4.7 to admin->settings? Which begs the
question whether or not any new module documentation should be written
for 4.7?

It's 4.6 until somebody starts tagging modules 4.7.
