Social groups are just forums that members can create & join. Almost all the functionality needed for groups is already present in xenforo: forums, threads, posts, XFMG media albums, member list, pages. It just needs to be tied together.
In my mind the Showcase framework is the optimal framework for this.
It already has much covered. A social group can be an item, with tabs for group info, forum nodes, member list, XFMG albums, AMS articles, custom fields.
There is much demand for social groups.

There are a few addons for XF, but none deliver stock XF functionality, most are not without issues, or supported. I regularly receive requests for advise on the matter from various webmasters.
As XF receives most of its new licenses from vbulletin refugees, a good social groups addon is essential for some vbulletin webmasters to migrate to XenForo.
I would love to see a social groups addon based upon the showcase framework.
