A group is a place for you to connect with people who share an interest. A group can be
about anything you like, such as a work-related interest or a favorite sport. People
join a group to connect with discussions, keep track of things with documents, and have
their say with posts to the group's blog.
When someone creates a group, they say what kinds of content the group can contain and
who can join. Here are a few things to know about groups:
- A group can be about anything. No, really: a company soccer team, Linux hacks, or
the latest uber-techno-house-hop releases.
- A group can contain documents, discussions, and blog posts, just as a space can. The
group's owner decides what's allowed.
- A group can be open to all, hidden, and "by invitation only." It can be set up so
that no one but its members can see it. It can also be visible, but set up so that
its owner must give permission for people to join.
