Group Web Pages
Group pages were introduced in the beta version of October 5, 2006 and discontinued in February 2011. Pages could be edited by group members or group managers and could store files for download. Versions of pages were kept in a similar way to a Wiki.
Group pages were promoted from beta status on January 24, 2007. On September 22, 2010 Google announced plans for turning off the group pages suggesting users to move their content to Google Docs or Google Sites. Starting in November 2010, the group pages became read-only (allowing only viewing/downloading existing content). In February 2011 they were turned-off completely.

Famous quotes containing the words group, web and/or pages:
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
“With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
