Yesterday I was thinking that it would be a very nice feature to be able to have simple:press create new topics from a meetup.com groups discussion forums.  It seems that this is a very real possibility.  Then I thought it would be really awesome if using meetup.coms api (or whatever it is that would have to be used) if when someone replied to a forum posting on simple:press, it would add the reply/topic to the corresponding meetup.com groups discussion board.  I have a website that I am using to try to network as many folks in Hawaii that are interested in Hypnosis.  There is one meetup.com group on Oah'u that is a hypnosis practice group.  I'm not sure how many people would like this functionality, but I imagine that I'm not the only one.

 

Also, it would really helpful if a person could add a meetup.com event to a group simply by posting a new topic.

afraid to ask (and yes I see the link), but what is meetup.com and how does it work?

if they have an api (as the link indicates) you may be able to use our program hooks (see our wiki for more details) to integrate them together.  folks have been successful with other plugins (such as cubepoints) that provides a nice api…

Meetup.com is basically a site that people use to network with one another (setting up groups for people with similar interests, programming clubs, adventure clubs, nerd clubs, all sorts of things).  They have an event system built into it, etc.  I thought it would be pretty amazing to be able to create a forum post, and subsqeuntly be able to add an event within a meetup.com group, and even be able to reply to a discussion forum on a particular meetup.com group.  The reason I was asking, is because I really have no experience with programming (except a very little bit of c++ years ago).
