Brew Groups

I have had this idea for awhile to implement groups into BrewShuffle.  I put it on the back burner because I felt the site needed a larger user base first.  Last week I received an idea submitted via the contact form:

“How about a Brew Club page, which would make it easier to schedule local events & locate like-minded folks.”

from Hogeye Brewing Co.

I like this idea and implementing groups would basically encapsulate this. Groups would consist of:

• The ability for any user to create any group
• Admins
• The ability to assign admins
• The ability to add news and comment on each news article
• Events that the members are attending would be listed under the group
• The home brew that members are sharing would be listed under the group
• Maybe a photo album similar to the brewer album.

This would be a lot of effort to code and would take a bit of time.  So I would like to open it up to you guys first to hear your thoughts so I can try to make it work so everyone uses and enjoys the group feature.
