Hi everyone,
A few of us Gaians have created a pod for Gaia pod moderators and other "Gaia group advocates", the Gaia Groups Community (see pod description below), and it'd be great if you came and checked it out if it sounds like something you might be interested in.
The group is semi-public (invite-only but readable by all), so if you want to join, let me (or one of the other pod mods over there) know, and I'll send you an invite.
Cheers,
Grey

The Gaia Groups Community - "The Mod Pod"
This group is for cultivators and moderators of groups (a.k.a. “pods”) here at Gaia, as well as for anyone else who has aspirations of becoming a cultivator or moderator or otherwise promoting the vibrancy of the pod community.
In this group, we discuss various strategies, issues and ideas related to group administration, as well as help less experienced moderators to develop their groups into thriving spaces that bring about a sense of community both within the group and throughout Gaia. That also includes discussing strategies for and providing support in mediating conflict with and between members of the groups we moderate.
This group also provides opportunities for working together with moderators of similar or complementary groups, as well as for merging groups in order to more effectively unite people with similar interests, not to mention generally building a sense of community among group moderators.
Finally, this group is a place in which we can discuss various important ideas that may have emerged separately in multiple groups, thereby providing us with a better sense of what the free will of the broader Gaia community is, which will, in turn, help us to be better moderators.
Joining the Group
All group cultivators, moderators and other enthusiastic community advocates are encouraged to join the group. To do so, simply contact one of this group's moderators, who are: Grey, Sandra, Meenakshi, Bruce, and Dave.
Enjoy!
