really rough notes on the ideas of groups in diso

Contents

Groups

  • a plugin for diso that gives you an option "act as a group"
  • whitelist for openids
  • grab rss feeds from members to create a group "planet"
  • chris mentions some handwaving "that does a callback to your IDP; and that group gets listed in your groups page; and you get an activity stream from the group" ;-)

Creating a group

  • A group is simply an OpenID consumer that may or may not have a predefined list of people who can join. A group server should allow the creation of groups with various access permissions; it should really be no different than the current process for Google Groups.
  • A group might be a DiSo node with a set of options:
 [x] Setup as Group:
     Group Name [  name ]
     Whitelist (text area for openids)

Fan Pages

Really, fan messages are another application of activity notifications, hopefully handled via xmpp.
