In order to make groups more useful and dynamic than they currently are, users should have the following toggles for each group to which they belong:

Message Notifications:
- Group IMs from group members: ()to email ()in-world only IM ()never
- Group IMs from group officers: ()to email ()in-world only IM

Event Notifications:
- Auto Notify for Group Events: ()officers only ()all events
- Auto Notify method: ()to email ()in-world only IM

The 'to email' notifications would go to IM if the person were in-world at the time, otherwise go to email.

Might also be nice to have an option for how far in advance of the event the person would like to be notified.

Yes, I realize groups themselves cannot yet be assigned to events by group officers nor members. And I hope for the sake of SL's faultering, non-scaling social structure this omission will be corrected. I ran/run the biggest groups in that other place and it helped that I had the proper tools to do it. :p

Edited for clarification
