Groups are used for various purposes. I think changing owners is very much an admin/non-routine function, so the PM could be manual with special instructions when the admin makes the change, if needed.
I guess I don’t object to single add/remove PM to the owner, but groups can be very large so a group PM would not be ideal. Users might be confused by a group PM.
Changes are logged now and visible in the Group page for admin/owners. Less need for an audit trail via PMs.
If I was going to prioritize group features (feel free to split this topic) it would prefer bumping up in this order:
-
auto-joining new/non-logged in users to requested groups after user registration/login This really helps with onboarding users in a frictionless way.
-
add option to group page settings to NOT display groups at /group even if otherwise public. This helps clean up the /groups page and want to selectively show a few primary groups.
-
removing the “everyone must be able to message this group” requirement + TL0 PM support This also helps new users who want to join.
Just notes from the front line. Thanks very much. All the group features are great.
