Hi all - we're just getting started tuning and tweaking this site, which is built using Drupal. Please post any feature requests here.

One of the things on our roadmap is to put together "Planet Unity". Like Planet Mozilla, Planet Drupal and other community blog aggregators, we'll be inviting people to submit the blogs that regularly talk about Unity and aggregate them here.

The Vancouver forum is up now, and we'll be adding Montreal and Toronto ones as we organize events for those cities. Want to run the community in your local area? Post a forum request and we'll add a forum for your city.

Welcome to the site, more soon...

User List by City?

A useful feature might be a list of UUG users by city. Could assist in coordinating local efforts.

Color bars/separators between posts please :)

Each post seems to run on into each other, separators or alternating yet similar background colors for each post would be nice. Otherwise rock it!

:)

And can comments go from oldest (top) to newest (bottom) so they're easily read in order? Now they're newest (top) to oldest (bottom) and that seems a bit confusing.

No worries Glen, I figured

No worries Glen, I figured but thought I'd chime in anyway. Finally back in SF!

Oh, and the "we think you're spam notice" comes up only after you try to submit, there is no text/number human verifier (CAPTCHA) on the original Reply page. :)

Atlanta Chapter now online!

Mani,

Apologies for delay - been in meetings all morning.
Have made you an editor for Atlanta group - would you prefer to take on responsibility of moderator?
Would value your input at really making this a success.
The work you have done aggregating Unity content is awesome and would definitely rock Planet Unity component we would like to develop.

Still wrapping my mind around Drupal (I am a Wordpress User).
Have a WP module we will be adding later today.
Also dealing with bars between posts. (be patient during this sub-beta phase).
Bar separators, a little loving care on front page (logo tweak), etc. to be done over weekend.

Hammer me with feedback. really serious about dialing this into perfection.
Cheers,
J.Joly

Slowly dialing it in...

T.

Will be massaging this over the next few days to make better.
Are you interested in me putting San Fran online and becoming an editor? Moderator?
Perhaps you could recommend some pit bosses to start their local UUG Chapter.

I'm a bit of a Drupal noob - learning fast. Will have this whipped into shape by next week.
A work in progress -- just added Mani in Atlanta.

Thanks for all the support Rev,
J.

Sure- I can moderate

Sure I can moderate. I am setting up http://infiniteunity3d.com as a news submission and voting site. Drupal is a hurdle because like you said- it's not wordpress!

Let me know what I can do to help with the growth and progress of the site. I look forward to what's coming up!

The anti-spam system that we're using ONLY will come up with a captcha if it thinks something might be spam. So most of the time, no one will see the captcha at all.

I actually need to set up on more role so that people like yourself and other regular contributors NEVER get marked as spam. On it now...

Could we get a forum for the Baltimore/Washington area, please?

Tempting as that is,

Tempting as that is, unfortunately I am a rank, floundering amateur with Unity, fishy smell and all. I'm going through the User's Manual right now trying to learn it.

On the other hand, I did request it, so maybe I ought to manage the group until someone better steps up. It's the responsible thing to do...
