If I put my notes here, I might be able to find them again later!
Google+ DIY Audio community.
There was no DIY Audio community on Google+.
So I made one.
Google+ has always been a "quiet room" where like-minded people got together to talk about things, away from the noise and chaos of facebook.
The problem was that it was difficult to find said like-minded people. They were there, but for the majority you had no way of knowing that.
Well, now Google has fixed that by introducing "communities". It's a user-created hub, a digital meeting room ~ salon ~ lounge ~ front porch, a designated gathering place associated with a certain hobby, interest, or topic.
This feature is brand new, so I have no idea whether it will work. It could, like facebook, devolve into noise and spam... or it might be useful and worthwhile. I think its worth a shot, anyway.
I created the group, but it is free and open. It's not mine in the sense I don't intend to use it as a platform. I have my own G+ page for that.
Update Dec 23rd:
DIY Audio G+ community passes 100 members.
Update Jan 31st:
DIY Audio G+ community passes 200 members.
Update April 15th:
DIY Audio G+ community passes 300 members (some while ago, I forgot to make note of it).

Google seems to have deliberately made it difficult to link to a community page from outside of the Google+ environment.
The link above works for me though. I copy it again below to double check:

I think I found the problem. The URL is different for me because I have owner privileges. The following should be the correct URL for general access, and I've edited original post to match.
