Ability to add AoF portals to groups +5

Edit this Page
After beginning some experiments on how best to steward areas of focus portals (pages that aggregate information on respective area of focus), we concluded that it's best to use the group feature to do so. In that regard, beyond the watchlist feature, I find the ability to add AoF portals to a group's wikipages section/box crucial. This will allow for stewarding groups and people to monitor changes to and comments made in an AoF portal, thus, making it easier to maintain and improve the quality of AoF portals.

This ability is standard to any WiserEarth entity (jobs, events, wikipages, resources, etc.), so I guess, technically this should be easy to implement.

(If anyone is interested in stewarding an area of focus and it's portal, please visit the Area of Focus Stewards group for more info)

Cool idea.  I'll talk to our developers and see if this is possible.

Good idea - a simple tile to add to the Group functionality like the Resources tile etc. Same design.

Agreed. An example of a portal is : http://www.wiserearth.org/aof/349 , ...it needs to be added to the ICT group, http://www.wiserearth.org/group/ICT , which is stewarding all the ICT-related content on WE
