The only thing to improve is the user interface. Currently you can use commands, but in future we would have a visual way to do this.
If you have the test client, you can use the graphical group management. You can use commands with the release client.
Group management is a tab sharing the place with the friends list:

To start a group, just invite members:

or type the command to invite members:

/group invite someone


Then wait for them to accept the invite.

Once the other player has accepted your invite, she will be shown as a member of your group. As the founder of the group you will be the leader and so your name will stay the first and be written in bold. Also you will have the smiley button active for inviting more group members, unlike the player who just joined your group.
