Great ideas!
And best of all - most of them are in the works, or are already available.
- "Sub power groups": Group owners do currently have special privileges - they can configure the group access list to restrict posting, commenting, and viewing, to anyone they chose. The moderator system (which I have just started working on) will take this to the next level, as the group owner will be able to delegate some of their responsibility to moderators - and there will be more responsibility to delegate, as moderators will have to power to move and alter the status of any content within their jurisdiction.
- More group customization: I totally agree! Over the last couple weeks I have been working on a system which will provide you with complete control over nearly every visual aspect of your groups. It is based directly on css - so learning about stylesheets will be a big advantage. I hope to release this system within a couple more weeks. Someday, I might release "drag and drop" gui tools to create the css for you, but just directly editing the css will come first :) Here's an example group I have been experimentally customizing using this new system: CNI.
- Custom RSS: Good news - we already have it! :) PlexPedia's RSS generator is located at "/export.atis-tpl-rss", and you should be able to append any browse filters you desire to the url and have them be reflected in the results of the feed. For example, "http://aubreyfalconer.com/export.atis-tpl-rss-tag-life". Using this technique, you can have a special tag for anything you want to appear in your special feed.
All the best,
