This product provides the /groups page of forums.e-democracy.org, and it disables the Groups site home viewlet provided by gs.groups.
E-Democracy has 50+ groups falling into multiple categories. Because of this, E-Democracy continues to use the /groups page that use to be provided by GroupServer to list all of the groups available on the site, and divide the listing of those groups up by category.
With the release of GroupServer 14.03, core support for that page has been deprecated in GroupServer. To continue to make /groups available on forums.e-democracy.org, much of the logic and template that supported GroupServer's /groups page have been imported into this egg. The logic can be found in page.py, which provides the EDemGroupsPage Browser View that is based on code that use to be found in gs.groups. The template can be found in browser/templates/groups_homepage.pt, which again is based largely on a template that use to be part of gs.groups.
Having imported the logic and template of gs.groups' /groups page, the E-Democracy page is now able to exist independent of what is provided by gs.groups.
Again, because of the large number of groups on forums.e-democracy.org, it became clear that E-Democracy needed a different way to display the site's groups than the default listing of groups on the site homepage provided by GroupServer. Thus, this egg disables the site home's listing of groups via the GroupsSiteHomeViewlet in viewlets.py, which simply has a show() method that returns False.
