I've done some research on this question, posted it here without any feedback, and have left messages for OG owner (amitaibu) without any response, so hopefully I can solicit useful feedback here.
I'm building a story telling platform that combines passions for genealogy, family photography, and social media, and brings them to a whole new and integrated level of telling stories about your ancestors, and celebrating the life of an individual who has just passed away. I'm building this on Drupal with Organic Groups as the main organizing construct. Every Album - whether it's a family tree, a single individual, or even a photo album - is instantiated as an OG. I'm writing about it and will launch it at www.greatalbum.net.
Right now, I'm building the prototype on D7+OG because it's stable and it's essential that any piece of content (family/individual/event/place/story/media/etc.) be allowed to exist in more than Album. The goal is to launch the prototype in April, and then launch the production v1 site in June or July. I'd love the public launch to be on D8+OG, but I'm not sure how realistic that is, since OG v8.x is currently 1.0-alpha2.
So, my questions are:
- Am I correct to understand that Group module does not allow content to exist in more than one group at a time, and hence based on my requirement OG is the better choice?
- Should I assume that OG 8.x-1.0-alpha2 is not stable enough to use for a production site, and that I should stick with OG 7.x-2.10 on Drupal7 for now, and wait on the benefits of Drupal8 until OG matures at least to RC1?
Any guidance?
