In the Art group we decided to enforce a set of rules (nothing special, a mailing list introduction and maybe a small task completion) for granting group membership to unknown people (I believe it is the same number for any other group: an important number of join requests from unknown people).
For the time being I sent manually emails with a short introduction and an invitation to join the mailing list, but I wonder if there is a place in FAS2 (I believe there isn't but would be useful) where a group can write the membership rules and when someone wants to join the rules are presented in a friendly way.
Somewhat unrelated: in the group lists (for example https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/list/A*) there is a quick "Apply" link with an info icon, which points to an non-existent URL - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/about

I had wanted something like this as well, we've got a 'group join' message perhaps we should change that to a 'group description message' or do people here think there is a need for both of those fields?

I can see some merits in having two separate fields (showing someone a long text is an incentive for him NOT to read) but I think we can manage with only one field, compose and format the text carefully.
