Japan Labs - Groups or Forum Discussion?

[Nick]

I jumped in and set up a Japan Labs group, Content Management Systems, and started a couple of discussions, but then came to the forum and wondered if I should have just posted my questions here instead?

So Group discussion vs Forum Discussion. Thoughts?

I've just edited the group, so it's now called "Technical Support". Having that as a group means you can send a message to all group members - pretty handy if you need some help.

Sorry about the slow reply!

(The email that I used to set this ning account up is a new one I have through google apps and it wasn't set up right so I didn't get any notification of your message. fixed now)


Good Question...
The line between group and forum is pretty thin.
The main difference is that users can be listed as members of a group. So maybe making groups for anything that is a project would be a good idea.

but basically anything goes (especially for now). The main page and email notification (when one's email is configured correctly :) seem to keep things organised without us forcing many structure rules.

I think CMS is a great group. thanks for jumping in, that's what its all about!
