Who's Playing?

Many improvements to Swaggle tonight:
  1. From a conceptual point of view, I've changed the idea of "tags" to "groups". Now, instead of "tagging" yourself "ultimate", you would join the "group" ultimate. There's no practical difference (all it meant was some string changes), but it should be easier to understand and explain.
  2. I added the ".WHO " command to find out who has joined a group. For example, if you send ".WHO ultimate", Swaggle will reply "Jojo, John, Amy are in ultimate"
  3. I changed the permission model so that any member of a group can issue an invitation to a new member. This should make the group growth process more organic. In the future, I plan to add a group type where only the owner can add and a group type where only the owner can broadcast.

Please feel free to leave comments on the post or e-mail me at swaggle (at) hive-mind.com if you have comments on these changes, feature requests, etc.

I also made some progress on a Web UI tonight, but need to spend a bit more time on the security model before releasing it.
