Group code is still unimplemented in OpenSim.  I'm kind of surprised actually, since these greenfield things have 
usually been filled in pretty quickly (I mean, wasn't there even someone offering cash for an implementation not long 
ago that they would donate back?)

Also, I would like to point out that I just discovered an older parallel page for os functions at

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/LSL_osFunctions

If someone or some people could amalgamate the info there with Ai's page then that would be really cool.
