Coming Soon!
Groups are essentially mini-web sites within bfi.org. As a supporting member of BFI's Network, you will be able to use the full groups capabilities on our website.
Groups allow people with specific interests to exchange information using our website. They are different from mailing lists and list-servs in that they also provide social networking functionality in addition to messages. With BFI Groups you will have the ability to learn about the other people in our network and exchange information with them. Additionally you will have the ability to start your own group by contacting us. Some ideas for groups might be
- Dome Builders in New York State
- Synergetics discussion group
- Model makers in Ohio
- etc.
You will also be able to control your notification options for each group individually and chose to subscribe to updates via email or RSS feeds.
Also available will be a listing of all the groups on our website and a feed that gets updated when new groups are created.
There used to be a petition asking for this feature but I can't find it. I looked through a ton of pages but had no luck, it was on that domain someplace though.
The first group to start should be, "Autonomous Housing". The timing is right for so many reasons.
Thanks
