Security ?

May be you mean preventing hack attacks.
But GL does nothing about private data security - no privacy controls for individual site members. They cannot choose to show a content to friends only, FOF also, or just keep hidden to all and see himself only. Same applies to profile too. No profile privacy.

The meaning of security has changed a lot and GL is dead wrt this sadly!

Yes, we mean both. Security for content is currently only implemented on a per-group level, but it's there. The things you are asking for are currently being considered for a Summer of Code project.

I did not mean Group which probably the admin can set.
Please read : no privacy controls for individual site members
It is just NOT there. No mincing of words please
So far as Google Summer of code, please see your site : social net ideas were there last summer also. Nothing happened.

I don't think there was mincing. But the only think you didn't mention is what I did - no SSL support. When I think secure, the word that jumps to my head is SSL, more than any other word.

And your point is? I did confirm that it's not there and pointed to the fact that we are aware of it and are looking at getting it implemented.

This, btw, is an all-new GSoC project that has been discussed at length on the development mailing list. Last year's project didn't work out because 1) our concept wasn't so great to start with and 2) we didn't get any good applications for it (as a consequence). Maybe you want to apply for it (or know someone who would be interested) to make it happen?

And my point is GL should not drum about security. Several times there were loopholes detected and public apologies, remember? And now you confirm there is no individual social data security or privacy aspect. Its sad!

And its a shame that GL has to depend on Google when it would have been other way round. See www.book-grab.com please.

The social net idea was posted by users to dead ears as well as the fact that there were Google summer kids from way back in 2007 - 2008 - please see and read - http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopi...opic=82903

Instead of attempting to re-invent wheel every year, please bring the wheel. Its already late if not dead!
