Wiki revision about joining a group or Groups.io #wiki #membership
|
Hi
I am hoping that someone can clarify this for me. It arises from Sugar's question. I *think* my reply works - send a blank email to the subscription address or send herself an invitation. But I looked at the wiki to see what it said and that got me wondering whether we should break out the different cases: - if someone is brand new to Groups.io - the current instructions work, but can they use the subscribe email if they have a specific group in mind? - if someone has joined Groups.io already and at this point, just wishes to join a specific group. The wiki page "Logging In" starts from the Groups.io homepage. This is useful for someone who is brand new to Groups.io ?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In It doesn't go on to explain what to do next - how to join a group. But what happens if a friend says here's the email address to subscribe to the widget group? Can the potential group member just send a blank email to the widget group? Then they wouldn't have to follow the Logging In instructions??
And if they receive an invitation from a group?
What if someone is a member already of Groups.io? So any instructions on how to join a group would work for them. I guess I am unsure how the different scenarios work. I *think* that someone who doesn't already have a Groups.io account can just use the blank email approach or click on an invitation link. It would be useful to clarify this section! And perhaps there needs to be a section on finding groups. The online list is only Publicly Listed Groups. Some are restricted groups - you need to apply for membership. Those that don't say anything are open to all - just click through to join. Frances -- /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki /static/help More help: use the search button at the top of the Messages list. |
