Already the Google+ group is showing amazing results. Thanks to the 25
of you that have joined so far! Thanks for sharing. The more that
join, the more diverse the content will be. The goal is to make it the
#1 source on the web for Open Manufacturing related news.

Best.
Nathan

Instead of making some server a # 1 source of ??, those interested in open mfrg
could use a decentralized secure file sharing app like suggested by
Cathal Garvey on diybio to choose multiple groups and subgroups and
conversations and projects to belong to:

http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/

here's the suggestion: All of you should go download Retroshare,

Why not just use HTTP and SSL? This just hides information from us.
This is a public group.

Sure. not saying to drop the public group, just that for
projects, a public group is not interested in the details and these tools
seem a good organization aid. Google+ has the same drawbacks
of being non-public, but more negatives in that it can always
change drastically or go away and leave your project unmaintainable
without a lot of foresight in backing up.

If it could receive post data (such as comments, news, videos, ect. ) shared from social networks (Facebook, Google+, ect.), in addition to the postings on the Open Manufacturing client, that would be ideal.

One thing you guys might be interested in is creating a page/account
for Diaspora* an open-source social network....in fact IIRC Google got
the idea of "CIrcles" from Diaspora's "Aspects"

agreed- a Diaspora group for OM would allow for federated, multiple(backup) hosted groups, and there'd be less risk to server downage.
