Today I've added two relatively minor "quality of life" changes to how the group behaves:
1) Joining the group no longer requires that I approve the membership request. Some who have requested to join during week-ends or on weeks where I have been a bit too busy have experienced significant delays (several days) before being accepted. As I both feel it's wrong to moderate membership of this group, and the delays incurred, I have removed the approval. I'm going to miss reading your descriptions of why you want to join :)
2) I've added "Group Shared Labels" to the web-view, and set up a few labels. I hope this is a useful addition. As far as I understand, labels can only be created by moderators. If this is correct, and you'd like to see a specific label added, please let me know (either in the post in question, or in a separate message, or as a reply to this thread). Feel free to give feedback on the feature (if the feedback is generally negative, I'll roll it back/remove it).
Regards,
Jon
