Need for more groups would be greatly mitigated if you could do more within one group: a) more roles, at least 64 roles max. This would allow for large complex organizations to operate within one group more effectively. Merczateers for instance, has many ranks and divisions b) allow for subgroups within the group: for dealing with divisions within a group: like military groups have infantry, aeronauts, fleet, medical, R&D, etc. so to with businesses, other RP groups, etc. c) allow for assigning of abilities based on role and/or subgroup d) allow for limiting who can chat as an ability, and an ability to ban certain individual members from chat and to ban individuals from joining open join groups. e) allow all land owned by the group to share a common ban list or to check banlists on other parcels owned by the group for bans when an individual enters the parcel. f) assign parcel access based on subgroup g) enable lsl functions that make group owned vending and other money devices work as well as those owned by individuals (i.e. deposit/withdraw, move funds between accounts in the group, etc) h) make the ability to manipulate group owned money objects separate from the regular ability to manipulate group objects. i) enable the group founder to demote a coowner themselves j) enable the group founder to designate an heir to inherit ultimate control of the group to ensure continuity of leadership k) separate payment of liabilities from the receiving of dividends abilities l) allow group founder or other role to decide when to pay dividends and how much m) enable a group to accrue savings in the group n) enable the group accounting to maintain multiple accounts to save funds in and transfer funds between o) while normal members should be able to hide their membership in a group, owners and officers should never be able to do so. those with executive responsibility for group actions should be publicly accountable for the groups actions. p) allow for more than one role to have 'officer' rank in the group q) allow for one account within the group to pay interest to another account within the group r) enable roles to see accounting information about the group without having ability to expend group money
