Comments

Let's put some comments here:

• We need an API allowing to access all the membership requests, including the completed ones.
• We need an API to resend an invitation.
• We need an API to accept invitation requests using a code (this will allow to authenticate an invite to an non registered user).
• We need an API to accept invitation requests using a code but transfer it to an existing account.
• Registration right might need to be modified so that a registration is allowed for an invited user (while forbidden otherwise) and to carry-over the invitation code to accept the invitation after the registration. Note: the email used in the registration might be different than the one used for the invite
• Additional parameters should be added to invitations.

Implementation notes

Data Model

• Curriki discussion about the Data Model.

Space Information

We need to store basic info about a Space:

• title
• description
• shortcut url
• language
• default membership policy (open, closed)

Invitation Requests

We need to store all invitation requests:

• email
• user id
• code
• space
• invitaton text
• additional params
• status (created, sent, accepted, refused, cancelled)

Membership requests

We need to store membership requests

• user id
• space
• request text
• additional params
• status (created, sent, accepted, refused, cancelled)

Group user profile

We need to store some information about a user in a group. We could store this info in the Groups Object for that specific user. However if we want to store more data this might not be efficient.

We could store this in a user page in the group space: Group_.Member_

The following informations would be stored in this profile page:

• description
• allow notifications
• notifications params
