The groups section of YWS is getting a radical makeover, and I just completed phase 1. To see the results, just go to the Group Index and click on any group.
Users will now see a description of the group at the top as well as that group's image. For now, the default image is the YWS shield. A group announcement set by the moderator is displayed above the discussion board.
It's also a lot easier to join a group. Just go to the Group Index, and select a group. From there, you will see an option to "Join Group" if you aren't already a member.
Group moderators, however, get a lot more. They can change their group's image, change the group announcement, and can easily see if they have any new members pending approval.
Phase 2 will be a remake of the Group Index page. There'll be separate listings for popular groups, groups you belong to, and new groups. A browsing feature will also be available.
Update: Also added option for group moderators to change the description of their group directly from their group's page via the group index.
