Is it possible to create a home page from the subgroup administration
page? I would have expected this possibility on the page where one
can add subgroups, member fields, group members, permissions, and so
on.

The group page (ie www.nightsail.com/groups/VUU for example) provides a basic group "home page" but its not very exciting. I am working on this because I have a couple groups I am hosting and would like each group homepage to be distinctive. Currently I modified the header proc so that if a header file exists in www.nightsail.com/VUU (VUU is the group in this case), it will be displayed, otherwise the default header is displayed. I would like to extend this concept using the portal code to provide a customizable group homepage but needs a bit more work.

Any other thoughts on this direction?
