SDSN Contacts
Probably one of the most basic things of social networking is that everybody has a contact (or "friends") list.
In the spirit of keeping things simple, I propose the following format. My SDSN contact list would be located at http://charlvn.za.net/sdsn/contacts and might look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<contacts xmlns="http://charlvn.za.net/2008/sdsn-contacts">
<contact>john.example.org</contact>
<contact>piet.example.org</contact>
<contact>sarah.example.org</contact>
</contacts>So basically, we just have a series of contact elements each containing an SDSN ID of one of my friends. This list does not have to be exhaustive, in other words some contacts could be "private" or "hidden" from public view. This will definitely be integrated with authentication into the future so that some people can see less than others, or maybe nothing at all.
Should we include more info than this? I think minimalism is good here, but would like to hear your input! :)
