Thanks worm23. Indeed, if I only try often enough it actually works. The fact that a group is alike a user and that you can even change between the two settings is amazing. I hadn't understood that, as my "privacy settings" first had no box for "make this user a group" until a few days ago I believe.
Also the German interface says Gruppen Besitzer = group owner (not user), that was another part of the problem, probably.

So for all:
You create a group as a user. Then you log out. Then you log back in but with the name and the password for the group you just created. Only then you can change the group avatar and the password. Your new group is like a new user with the "make this user a group" box in the privacy settings already activated.

To be able to log in as a group owner I have to unfollow and unfriend the group as user MattisManzel first. If I don't my login jumps back to user MattisManzel the moment I go on the group's soup page. Unfollowing and removing friendship for my groups mostly hangs on my FF3, so does refollowing them and recreating friendship - it's a little annoying. But trying often enough helps though.

Bravo soup! It's even more wiki-like than I first thought.

It took a while until I found it:
you have to login as the group user, then you are able to change the avatar. I think that and the password are the only things you are not able to change as grou admin.

"Wie die Kuh vorm Tor stehen" - standing like the cow in front of the gate. It's an expression in German for stupidity combined with not knowing what to do next. I've been searching more and more how to change group-icons. I even tried on windows and in IE6 (just to explain my degree of desperation), but no way. How do I change group-icons? People did change them here for their groups, so it must be possible. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for this wiki-initiative.
This might be another step to OpenBusiness and ExtremeOpenBusiness.

Thanks, Mattis. That means a lot. We put a lot of hard work into it, and everyone is very subjective when it comes to design and functionality. Some people love it. Some people think it's too busy. Some people think it's too spare. Some people wish it looked and worked like their favorite old forum from 1999.

But, very few people simply tell us how it makes them feel. And we love that the most.

Get Satisfaction feels good!

Get Satisfaction feels good. I can't say yet if it will work for my 'little idea' but it feels good. That's all. Well done and thank you!

Welcome to the wiki-net! Too bold?

Fascinated with various web services I've recently been trying out - in combination with the wiki-net idea that has kept me busy for the last two years - I accidentally dropped into 'get satisfaction', and I quite liked it from the very beginning. Surprise: Most of the services I tested recently are represented on 'get satisfaction'. Is it too bold to start 'get satisfaction: wiki-net' right among all the shiny professionals here? Probably it is.

The wiki-net is not a company or an organization. It's an idea. It's about communities deciding what information about their wikis is being fed to the 'big public' and which feeds from other communities to follow on their wikis locally. Like twitter: you decide for yourself who you follow, the others decide for themselves if they follow you. Twitter runs on the individual level whereas the wiki-net run on the community-level.

Anyhow. Welcome to the wiki-net. I'll try to put more here. Meanwhile you might like to take a look at the odd-wiki-hive, obm-wiki-hive, kabo-wiki-hive or the eArt-wiki-hive to get an impression about the wiki-net.

Or - for the widest angle view - check the wiki-net hive-lists like for example kabo-wiki-hive / kabo-wiki-list: wiki-net hive-lists. Thanks!

How to change group icons in soup.io?

I'd like to change the icons for the groups I started. I've been searching a lot for how and where to do that but do not find anything helpful. Thanks for a hint.

Thanks Andreas, not important, I made the group wikinet instead. I don't remember how I created the group wiki (if at all), the password I pinned down then actually doesn't work. It's likely someone else created it. Anyhow.

Andreas Fuchs replied on July 18, 2008 14:19 to the problem "can't log into group wiki" in Soup:

Hmm, it doesn't show as a group, but as a regular soup. Did you create it through the "create a group" form?

If you still remember the password, you can make it a group (in the "Privacy" tab of the wiki soup's settings), then join it and make yourself an admin.

Mattis Manzel reported a problem in Soup on July 16, 2008 17:45:

can't log into group wiki

I started the group wiki but can't log into it. It does not say 'wiki has made you admin ...'. There's a wikiwiki group already but it is unfortunately restricted to Mediawiki Foundation wikis.

Andreas Fuchs replied on July 16, 2008 15:20 to the question "No admin menu in group democracy" in Soup:

This is odd. Your membership status seems to have become a non-admin membership somehow. As you're the only member of this group, I have made you an admin again. The nut icon should be there again. If it isn't, please tell me here and I'll investigate further.

No admin menu in group democracy

I created the group democracy, it says I'm group admin, but there's no admin menu (nut-icon) anymore. It was there in the beginning. Thanks for the soup!
