Play nice with subdomains and integration with other technologies.
I have several sites all that use the same top domain I'm using for my meetup. I need the subdomain used by meetup.com to play nicely with the other sub-domains.
Ideally this would be by allowing me to insert code launching a common javascript menu I use across all the sites.

Meetup support replied to my ticket [#13746]:
I'm afraid that right now, it's not possible to include a seperate navigation bar at the top or side of the Meetup Group's Home page.
Giving Organizers more control over their groups' customizable appearance is a good suggestion though. We appreciate the idea!

I'm afraid that we will not be able to make this change for you right away. I'm not able to give out an estimation on whether or when a particular request for new functionality will be added to the site.

Meetup.com makes use of Uservoice to round out its
capabilities. Uservoice provides sufficient theming controls to
link back to Meetup.com. I want to do similarly.It appears my alternative is to put a proxy ahead of Meetup.
com, like
http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/10/building-a-translation-proxy-s.html but instead of using such an architecture for translation I'd be rewriting the HEAD block to include my javascript menu. That would be overkill relative to the simple change I hope you will make. -
I need a way to provide a common navigation experience from
Meetup to the other sites. I don't mind Meetup's look and feel,
but I need to add an additional navigation bar either at the
top or on a side. Given your look and feel I would probably
elect to have it appear on the left hand side. Naturally I
would within the look and feel of your site. Our group has a
good reputation and I need to preserve this.I have set up http://toronto.knowledgeworkers.org for my group,
Toronto Knowledge Workers. I now need to provide a common
navigation bar between this Meetup site and the other sites in
my domain. For instance, I have http://ask.knowledgeworkers.org
and, because we trial various software, all sorts of other xyz.
knowledgeworkers.org domains expected. I need a way to inject a
lightweight menu into the Meetup site as it loads. The other
systems I select are not a problem as they are typically open
source.However, your theming control
http://toronto.knowledgeworkers.org/manage/appearance/ is
inadequate - even "Make your own theme" only lets me set
colors. Your links (
http://toronto.knowledgeworkers.org/manage/settings/optional/?returnUri=http%3A%2F%2Ftoronto.knowledgeworkers.org%2F#webLinks) won't help because they 1) don't appear in a consistent place between sites and 2) are too well hidden.
