groups.

create a group by setting it´s name.

join a group by knowing its name.

send messages to everybody in the group.

get contact info of everybody in the group.

create/accept/reject dates/deadlines.

share comments/links/files

this is for people who where at camps, workshops, classes, university, play in bands, work on any type of project together,...

sounds interesting?

Yes. I've been infatuated with this idea for 3 years now. Specifically, having the groups centered around threaded forum-like discussion. So many times I've wanted to throw up a temporary forum online, and I just could never find an easy enough way to do it that didn't require lengthy registration and administration.

It would be nice if I could just tell someone, go to "foobar.com/<some word>" and we'll discuss it there.

I have a killer domain for the idea, but sadly have always been too busy working on other projects. To tell the truth, I'm a bit intimidated by working on forum software. Last time I tried, I feature-creeped myself to burn-out.
