automate google group addition about bounties HOT 9 CLOSED

from bounties.

I stubbed out group member addition in the script editor minus the oauth2 client authentication.

function addGoogleGroupMember(group_email, user_email)  {
  client = gdata.apps.groups.client.GroupsProvisioningClient(domain=settings.DOMAIN)
  client.ssl = True
  client.auth_token = gdata.gauth.OAuthHmacToken(settings.OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, settings.OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET, access_token.token, access_token.token_secret, gdata.gauth.ACCESS_TOKEN)
  client.AddMemberToGroup(group_email, user_email)
  // client.RetrieveGroupMember(group_email, user_email)
}

It looks like we may need a google organization domain for this to work.

This would be triggered on form submission. We may have an issue dealing with multiple submissions.

This "GroupsProvisioningClient" has a lot links:
Like google/gdata-python-client@8a7a928
I don't know really what do with it.

I invited the first 10 members who filled out the membership form to our google group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rchain manually. I probably should have done a "direct add" instead. I also set an initial welcome message.

I have continued inviting members to the google group manually. HJ has added them here in github. We need some javascript/googlescript learners to automate these things. I can coach them. I think learning to work together is important. Alternatively we can just put bounties on these things and hope somebody bites.
We can have a separate issue for adding to gitlab but both are enhancement to the processing of a google prereg form submission.

I have added all the emails in the activist registration sheet which has been retired and replaced with the new member registration process.
I have received a request to join the group but cannot confirm they are a member.

The group has been underutilized but I suggest it should be maintained. Having an email alternative for members to reach out to one another is an important channel to have as a compliment to discord and the only way members communicate not active in discord outside officiel coop bulk emails. Email connections are important for working together.

We need a new process @lapin7 to get members in the google group.
