Deprecated - Social software and communities

I am having this SERIOUS problem with the social software module OG and has got no feedback so far - IF SOMEONE KINDLY HELPS on this I will be really grateful.

Please see this : http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal-double-homepage.GIF

This is what happens :

I install OG module and set access control and all other stuffs ok.

Now I enable "My Groups" block as a block appearing on the right side.
I click on 'configure' and set 'maximum number of items to show' to 3

I own a domain name [some city name].info. It's a growing, mid-sized city with lots of community involvement and lots of tourism. There is really no good city information web site yet. Some attempts, but badly conceived and developed. I'd like to create one that works for both residents and tourists. Basically, an everything about [this town] site, with ratings on establishments, discussion forum, photo gallery, possibly some user blogs, etc. A massive site really.

Wanted to announce three new Organic Group modules that I just added to my sandbox (og2mlm, og_hierarchy & og_translate). We created these modules for the IDRC in attempting to emulate the basic features of Yahoo Groups.

Organic Groups Mailing List Manager (MLM)
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/mgifford/og/o...

Messages posted to an organic group will be sent to a specified MLM which will propagate that message to all subscribed users. This is set up for Sympa at the moment, but hopefully it will be extended in the future to deal with different mailing list managers. The IDRC was looking for a robust way to distribute mail to a number of high volume groups. Members of a group will be able to receive or send information either through the web or through their email client. The implementation in og2mlm_sympa requires SOAP functionality that has yet to be written into Sympa.

Organic Groups Hierarchy
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/mgifford/og/o...

This module is intended to handle a specific permissions situation not easily managed in Drupal or Organic Groups. We allow a group of users to be empowered as OG "creators" by "head creators" who retain authority over the creators' groups. Multiple such hierarchies can be created in parallel. The model is that of a Drupal site used simultaneously by a number of organizations: each organization should be able to delegate responsibilities and authority in a hierarchy that is isolated from the others.

Welcome to browse our website, our products are what you need.

I am trying to build a user profile system, that I am sure hasbeen done before, and better by someonone out there, so I was wondering if I coudl get some feedback about what people have tried and what has worked.

the basic idea, is that users who wish to volunteer as media trainers fill out the volunteer section of the registartion form when they land on our DRupal site ;

Which is here;

http://www.atwaterlibrary.ca/media/

the basic form is easy but I have a few challenges;

#1/ I want them to select multiple neighbourhoods where they would be willing to travel to teach so #1 problem is I need a multiselect list

#2/ I would like another multiselect list + an 'other' box that will allow them to specify their media expertise

#3/ guess what? I need a third multiselect list that allows users to specify the age-range they want to work with.

#4/I would like the profile listings page to either be sortable or searchable based on the above three criteria

#5/ I would also like users to be able to able to upload lesson plans to share with the public. Thos elsson plans would be available through their profile pages.

and lastly,

#6/ i would like a page of comments associated with each volunteer where people who have worked with them can say " yeah great workshop!" or " boring!".

I don't think it'll be terribly complicated, but I have just downloaded a bunch of different modules all of which claim to do some of what I need.

Does anyone know where I can find standardised 'Terms of Use' and 'Privacy Policy' for my site - I'm thinking of something generic that can be modified without too much fuss or lawyers.

thanks in advance.
