>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2590497. --> Reported by: [hestenet](https://www.drupal.org/user/54034) >>> <p>This issue outlines a Drupal Association plan for sun-setting groups.drupal.org as a sub-site and integrating much of its functionality with Drupal.org. </p> <p><strong>This plan is still in the early stages - so these ideas are still subject to change. </strong></p> <p>As part of the new <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2481519">Content Model</a> being implemented on Drupal.org, we are implementing organic groups and some supporting modules to allow us to use groups for content organization and governance directly on Drupal.org. </p> <p>Historically the groups on groups.drupal.org have been used for roughly six purposes:</p> <ol> <li>Announcement Only Groups</li> <li>Project-based groups</li> <li>Initiatives and Working Groups (official and unofficial)</li> <li>Local User Groups</li> <li>Interest Groups</li> <li>Jobs</li> </ol> <p>These six functions can be mapped to the new content model for Drupal.org, and in doing so should become more relevant and tightly connected to the content they relate to: </p> <table> <caption> <h3>Proposed Group Type Migrations</h3> </caption> <thead> <tr> <th>Group Type</th> <th>&#10230;</th> <th>Proposed Drupal.org Migration</th> <th>Status</th> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>Announcement Only Groups </td> <td>&#10230; </td> <td> Blog content type on D.O </td> <td> Ready, requires contacting a maintainer of the community section </td> </tr><tr class="even"> <td>Project-based Groups </td> <td>&#10230; </td> <td>Project nodes become organic groups on D.O </td> <td>Not ready</td> </tr><tr class="odd"> <td>Initiatives and Working Groups </td> <td>&#10230; </td> <td>Initiative content type </td> <td>In use via the Section content type</td> </tr><tr class="even"> <td>Local User Groups </td> <td>&#10230; </td> <td>Organic group on D.O </td> <td>A new event listing content type is deployed and under review by the Events Working Group</td> </tr><tr class="odd"> <td>Interest Groups </td> <td>&#10230; </td> <td>Organic group on D.O </td> <td>Not yet accounted for</td> </tr><tr class="even"> <td>Jobs </td> <td>&#10230; </td> <td>Already migrated to jobs.drupal.org </td> <td>na.</td> </tr></thead></table> <p>See the <a href="https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2015/sessions/future-groups-drupalorg">DrupalCon Barcelona session</a> for some more details about this plan. </p> > Related issue: [Issue #2481519](https://www.drupal.org/node/2481519) > Related issue: [Issue #2481515](https://www.drupal.org/node/2481515)
