[documentation] documentation Digest, Vol 41, Issue 7

[Peter Wolanin]

Ricco  - Here are the posted guideline for groups:

Groups should fall into one of three categories:

    * working group coordinating on a Drupal feature, module, or distribution
    * a geographical user-group such as users in a specific city
    * or a Drupal event organizing group such as a DrupalCON organizing group


I gave you my suggestion in a previous post.  "general purpose" ==
will be deleted.

> These are Handbook pages or support forum/site showcase topics.  I'd recommend writing such a page and submitting it to the handbook (or the forum) instead.
