It makes sense to add a “Message” button on a group’s homepage, if that group can be messaged by the specific user:

Edit: also, the “Request” button should use a different icon (perhaps [fa-user-plus](http://fontawesome.io/icon/user-plus/)), especially if that feature ceases to use messaging as I read in another topic.

I like this suggestion, adding it to the list for next release
