I am developing some modules and wish to include integration with Social Networking modules. I wanted to start a thread on this so we can all discuss what SN capabilities the new release of DNN will have and the uniform methods we ALL need for social networking integration. I hope some of you other developers will join in and give some input. I believe the standard is becoming using the UserId, i see some modules already using this such as UMG. I also noticed ActiveProfile is changing its new version to support the UserId. What other things should be standard among all modules to help with integration?

Thanks Rodney for your input. I have been looking over your new release of the groups module the past 2 days. I have some questions on that but they should be answered somewhere else. Other than UserId and templating is there anything else that would be needed to be included in all or most modules to have complete integration with social networking modules? Maybe a set of standards for the templating itself? 

And why does this standard forum not notify me of new replies to my posts? GRRRR

I am currently working on a module and wish to impliment this module templating. Is there any documentation which explans a simple method of doing this that i can begin to learn from? Or can anyone provide any form of help in this?
