I think that either yourself or Farhan will have
to build any "group writable directory", if it
is even supported by Yahoo. In building my
K7HKL directories in the Files and Photos
sections I do not recall seeing any option
where a non-administrator for the group could
make those directories group writable.
I just had a quick look at this. With the current group settings, any member
can create directories and any member can create files in any directory.
What you cannot do is edit or delete an existing file unless you are the one
who created it. Moderators can edit and delete all files. There does not
seem to be any way for non-moderators to have write access to files which
they did not create.
So we can do this no problem, as long as people don't all want to edit each
other's documents. In practice I don't think this restriction should be too
troublesome.
If you do provide group writable subdirectories
for specific subject content it may be necessary
to set up some guidelines...
I am in favour of as few rules and guidelines as possible. Just let the
creativity flow freely and let's waste as little time on administration as
possible. If later, it appears that the volume of ideas or modifications has
become large and the folders are disorganised and confusing, then we can
formulate some guidelines at that point if necessary. That's my own view
though, if people would like it more rigid then I'm not that fussed either
way.
