(on phone so don’t judge my style :p) Nice work! Thanks for all of your time and effort.
Some quick thoughts. It might be good to post about the new hub in all of the groups you have listed. When doing that you could ask the members to add their details and check/update their group details.
Would be great to be able to bulk message all profiles in a given area (perhaps it should require contracting an admin to avoid spamming), for example in relation to upcoming local conferences or big events.
It could be good to ask new signups if they know any groups that are missing. Also when promoting the new. I see that there are a few missing in Australia, like Newcastle, Cairns Wollongong and Tasmania. If easy/sensible please bring back the map features for profiles. It would be really useful to be able to find the EAs in a postcode etc.
Thanks, Peter! We’re still spreading the news of the launch. We use several channels and get a very warm response, which is wonderful!
About the accuracy of the data on personal profiles, we’ve emailed all of our user base asking to update and activate their profiles (all 4000+ of our users will remain hidden before that takes place). We’re confident that the number of people that join us will grow steadily as we add features (you can read about our plans in here https://eahub.org/about/).
The accuracy of the data on local groups will be assured by comparing it against the data we get from the Local Groups Survey. We work with a dedicated team at the Centre for Effective Altruism to make sure the data is clean day-to-day. We also trust that some of this responsibility will be taken from us by the Organizers. We will aim to make that easier for everyone with every future release.
I like your idea of enabling bulk messages and I posted it here https://feedback.eahub.org/. Everyone can add their own ideas or vote on those that are already here. We will treat the results very seriously when prioritising.
New idea! It could be useful to ask members to fill out much of the information contained in the EA survey. And indicate which local groups they attend. Not mandatory of course. It might also be useful to ping local leads if a new person registers and indicates that they haven’t attended a local group event.

Thanks! We previously had an option for people taking the EA Survey to opt-in to be informed if there was a nearby local group/put in contact with the organiser. We’ll definitely consider including this in future surveys. Allowing people to indicate specifically which local group they attend also sounds potentially useful.
