[edit] Examples of Workgroup (Group of people)

Here are some examples--which I think work well enough with the existing page Working group, so I've also listed them there. Workgroup is often used as an adjective (as in "workgroup meeting") but can also be found as a noun. Savannah River Site Health Effects Subcommittee (SRSHES) Meeting gives examples of both uses. For groups formally called workgroups see

• Reactor Facility Decommissioning Workgroup

"The Community Workgroup for the decommissioning of the closed Reactor Facility at NASA Glenn Research Center's Plum Brook Station will meet on Tuesday, January 18, from 7-9 p.m. in the Perkins High School cafeteria, located at 3714 Campbell Street in Perkins Township."

• Pacific Northwest Native Freshwater Mussel Workgroup

I believe that "workgroup" is also used as a more informal term for a collaborative group working closely together. Please add information to Working group if you feel it is appropriate, or, if you feel the meaning is different, create a new page for Workgroup (Group of people).

[edit] What about "Workgroup" in reference to MS Windows Networking?

I feel that there should at least be a differentiation between "Workgroup" as in the Setting in windows versus "Workgroup" as in Peer to peer networking. Maybe a disambiguation page? While Yes, when you use workgroups in windows networking it is technically a serverless form of LAN peer to peer networking as compared to using the LAN "domain" setting in windows networking which needs a server, neither the article that workgroup redirects to (computer networking) nor the "Peer to Peer Networking" article talk about this at all. any thoughts? or am I just looking in the wrong place?
