+1 Diva, I totally agree with getting these tools off the region server.

I don't particularly care about the details of the group feature design, 
and, as with everything else, I don't think there's "one right thing". 
In fact, I think this is one of those features where variety and 
competition are the right approach.
My only concern is the architecture. All social networking stuff (IM, 
friends, groups and others) should be completely removed from region 
servers. They don't belong there, it's just wrong. Move all that stuff 
to interactions between the client and those services directly. We 
already have way too much of it in region servers, which should be moved 
out, let's not have any more of that. This is where I think we should 
break from OpenSim out-of-the-box being an SL clone to it being 
something else that's much better.
