Groups

Each of the various teams/committees in the community has its own page. A group page is accessed via the Group dropdown menu in the top menu bar.

You can join a team by going to its page and clicking "join" on the "people" tab.

The group's name and a link to email the group will be shown at the top. If the group has an email list, the link will start a mail to that list, otherwise it will start a mail to the members of the group. The rest of the group's info is displayed on separate tabs.

Your site may not use all of the tabs listed below.
