For almost all of the time that
Groups have been in the alpha testing period, a couple of other persons and myself have been thinking seriously about making a group for
all the different kinds of programmers/scripters/coders on dA: userscripters, journal CSS’ers, dA skinners, dAmn bot programmers and so on. People who are focused on making their own
improvements to dA, regardless of whether they're official or not. People who care about making dA better, and have the ideas and the skill to turn it into something users can download or install.
The only problem is — at least for me — that while I’d love to work on creating such a group, I know I won’t have much time to participate in the day-to-day moderation, operation, conceptualization and general managing of the group.
Another thing is that I’m not quite sure what exactly all of us would do in such a group — what justifies its existance other than a list of people who do these kinds of things?
What should we do? Galleries? Knowledge bases or tutorials? Wikis? Forums? Whah?
This is why I’m asking you guys. I know I’m not the only one who has thought of such a group. And I know a lot of my watchers could easily be a part of this group, and I’d love to hear your ideas. If we end up making it, what do you think we should be doing? Additionally, could you join the management of such a group and spend time making it awesome once it’s launched?
If you can answer any of these questions, feel free to do it in a comment (here) or a note to me. Thanks!Edit: Thanks for all of your feedback so far. I'm happy to say that a group will be out in a couple of days, and I'm going to need all of your help to make it awesome and keep it that way. Keep your eyes peeled!
Edit 2: If you're interested in joining, note me your Skype username and I will add you to the group convo! Go go!

One thing I was thinking of as a potential function for the group I was thinking of setting up was collaborative projects hosted in sourceforge (or any other common online version control system) - lots of technical expertise + lots of great ideas could lead to some awesome projects.
