Organic groups 7!
You might have already heard, that Moshe Weitzman has handed over Organic groups to me. It's fun and scary at the same time.
It's is now time for some community "tough love" - OG7 needs reviews.
Before people start diving into the code, you should realize that OG has changed and its concept has been polished and can be summarized into one line:
OG brings roles and permissions to the group level.
While porting to Drupal 7 I tried to bring OG to be up to date with all the new standards. Old timers in OG might be a bit disoriented at first, but remember OG is just trying to copy Drupal in the look and feel.
Development has been done on github, and I have created a new CVS release. If you find any issue please report them on OG's issue queue.
For some overview you can also read this issue.
Let's make OG7 the best release ever!

Hmm ! wondering what this means?
I was little taken back with your wording here.
Specially the last line need more clarification. And I hoping the clarification is OG brings roles and permissions to the group level in a scalable way"
Current drupal core roles and permissions are NOT scalable (atleast not UI). Those are fine for few (less than 20 roles and permissions) but does not scale for thousands of roles and permission and their combinations. OG (atleast 6x) scales to thousands of groups and giving each group member to subscribe and post with different combinations. I hope 7x OG (UI or backend) is NOT taking away this scalability and works with thousnads of groups as it does now.
@ajayg, I encourage you to
@ajayg,
I encourage you to help test and review OG with thousands of groups, in order to fine tune performance.
I meant UI
By scalability I do not mean performance. I meant aba]ility to manage in UI those thousands of roles and permissions. I am not concerned abou whether the UI will come up in given time. I am concerned whether the UI will be able to allow admin user to administer those permissions? Try 20 roles in core drupal and try going to permissions page and you will see what I mean.
why would you need 20 roles
why would you need 20 roles to begin with?
