Allow the organizer to globally set what type of emails are sent to group member. It would be nice in my group to turn off some of the email notifications that all members get as they're relavent or helpful to my group. They just add to the perceived spam.

The objective is to make it easier and less intimidating for non-organizers to post meetups.

The meetups could be pre-configured with typical event locations a pre-set limit to the attendees and with further directions specific to the meetup group. The person would only need to fill in beyond some basic details about the event is the date and time.

i.e. - Template title: Meeting at Park Entrance - Limited to 10 people

During signup should give various personal information like where do I come from, gender etc. WTF, WHY? When confirming the first login, I MUST provide a photo - hell, WHY?!

Also the "give a brief introduction" - okay, is this posted somewhere, is it just on my profile page? Why do I HAVE to enter something?

I just wanted to join a meetup group. After logging in I have to go to settings again and remove information about birthday and gender again.

When you see the list of members signed up for an event, it should tell you which events have been attended by both you and that other member. Having this info would mean that you can easily see whether there are people you know attending and would help avoid the embarrassment of introducing yourself to someone you've already met!

Have a customized email default that users edit from a single location so that users don't have to go into each group's email settings and notifications. This is time consuming. It can't be difficult for those programmers at Meetup to create something better than the current way of changing email notifications.

I believe that wiki is a MUST for a system like Meetup, because it's the only simple solution to build and share information within a group of users.
Hope that wiki application will be available soon into Meetup framework.

swoop meetup to swoop things you dont need anymore ... Maybe you have a camera you dont use and you are in need for something else ... swoop it at a meetup ... put a photo of your camera at an swoopalbum and what you are in need of ....

I am NOT willing to travel to Brooklyn and NJ, and since it is obvious that you are aware that I live in Queens, you might ask all your users to name the places where they are NOT willing to travel to. This would customize your offerings, make things more efficient for everyone and generate more satisfied customers. :)

Create functionality that allows the Organizer of a Private Meetup group to hide the group from members profiles.
We are having issues with getting all our members to comply and hide their groups. We are a private group and often people try to join because they see our group listed on a friends profile. In order to join, they need a passcode, but it is inconvenient for the organizers because we have to email and ask questions about how they found us.

Create functionality that only allows members to RSVP "Yes" for an event, unless they are changing from a "Yes" to a "No."
Organizers do not need to recieve email every time a member says no. Obviously if they are not a yes, they are a no. If they wish to leave a comment as to why they cannot make it, they can leave a comment on the event.

It'd be really cool if you could build up some points or some equivalent from presenting at meetups. I know there are perks from individual meetup groups themselves for speaking, but spreading the incentive across different meetup groups might be fun.
This could be like the contribution squares on github - when you propose to speak at conferences, you could send your meetup page that would show much speaker cred you have.

Is there any way to indicate more than one language in mi profile?

Starting a new meetup generally incurs cost in a number of areas (venues, etc.) so it'd be a huge help if small groups could operate their meetups free of charge until they reach critical mass. Perhaps allow groups with less than 20 members to operate free of charge, then start paying once they grow beyond this and it becomes financially viable?

I want to update my twitter but cannot find anywhere to do so! Not even a remove button.
