Ro,

This is kind of a deal break on doing the "whole group transfer".
People dont read instructions, dont want to go thru that hassle, will
get frustrated and upset.

It may go smoother than you think. If your group members largely read and post by email, without needing the visit the group site, then they are all set. They needn't visit Groups.io, needn't read anything, needn't set anything.

Even those that want to access the group's web pages may fare perfectly well. Several in my groups have.

Especially if they just plow on without reading instructions too carefully they are likely to get it done -- I think the ones that will have trouble will be primarily the cautious types that read the instructions minutely and give up if the instructions don't say precisely what they expect.

Please let us know when a better mechanism will be put in place.

That's up to Mark, but you'll undoubtedly hear about it here.

That said, I think the transfer flow is easier (for the member) than joining cold, or accepting an invite.

I was planning on moving my Yahoo group by the end of the month. I am a
member of Helens CKD group, and IO seems to be working just fine for us
in that group, but I do remember setting up membership was a royal pain.

I'm puzzled that you think so. I don't recall there being any trouble, but then I was fully expecting to create a password for access to my groups. Can you recall what points particularly troubled you? I'd like to add anything helpful I can to the wiki.

One source of confusion is just how much of the web site one can access without a password. Public information (such as most of a group's home page) yes, members-only information no.
