I just went through the process of converting the land belonging to the individuals in my group to group owned. Let me say, there is definate flaws currently. The problem is:

1) To deed land, you must approve the buying of the land personally first, thus you need the land allocation for it.

2) To deed the land, the group must already have the land allocation credits to support the land to be deeded.

Thus, inorder to deed a piece of land, the individual in the group must have twice the amount of land allocation as the plot they want to allocate, since they need enough to own it personally and then enough to contribute the credits to the group.

I prepose that there be a dirrect "Buy land for group" option in the about land, so that one can dirrectly buy/deed the land without having to have twice the allocation.

Thank you for the feedback. This is the time to give us as much as possible so that we can consider what features to add next.

Meanwhile here is a workaround if you have any more land allocation than land. You can contrilbute the excess allocation first, then contribute the corresponding amont of land. Repeat until done.

For those of you who aren't familiar with whats going on with group owned land link here.

The problem arises when you don't have enough excess, or for that matter, any excess. I suppose you could devide the land into little 16 meter hunks and transfer one at a time and eventually the 10% gain will allow you do be able to have enough to double up on one of the 16m blocks.

Another possibility would be to be able to deed unconfirmed land.
