Overall, Android has very limited support for Contact groups. As newer versions of Android and hundreds of different device models have been released over the past two years, Contact groups have stopped working reliably on many different Android devices. No amount of development on our part will fix the problem—it is fundamentally broken in Android.
Locale 2.0 supports selecting multiple individual contacts, instead of selecting contact groups. To select multiple contacts, simply long press on the Add Condition button in the Edit Situation screen. This will allow adding multiple conditions of the same type (i.e. multiple contact conditions), which are implicitly treated as OR.

Incidentally, I'm sure that Carter will recognize this as my constant clamor since about day zero. I think this might be the 3rd or 4th time I've brought the issue up.
I'm really only luke warm on NOT conditions, because I can see them as useful, but I'm full throttle behind contact groups availabilty in the contact condition. This has been since day one, and will continue to be my only real complaint concerning the Locale app. The app already has access to the contact list. It can't be a big stretch to get hold of the contact groups. Putting all the votes I have towards this issue, because it needs fixing. Not solving, fixing. It's broken functionality.
