PeopleAggregator Architecture/Structure

q. How is the PeopleAggregator.net system organized - what is the structure of the system?

a. PeopleAggregator.net is a meta-network, hosting hundreds of networks(currently 1 numbers of networks)

a2. Each member of a network has their own personal pages (both public and private).

a4. The media gallery can be viewed, uploaded into or shared with friends.

a5. Each member can control what modules are displayed on their personal pages - and where each module is placed on those pages.

a6. Each member can send private messages to any other member.

a7. Groups can be created by any network member. Groups created in a particular network are limited to just that network.

a8. Each Group can have its own Group blog, Group gallery, Group Message board and display of group members. The creator of the Group is called the Group Moderator.

a9. Network members can create their own networks. Each network has its own unique membership, set of groups, media, and blog content.

a10. Each network member has one account, but a unique set of media and content (blog posts) for every network that theyre a member of. There will be added search capabilities soon.

a11. Along the top of the screen is an orange menu bar which allows access to the Network Directory and gives members the ability to Create your own Network or Return to the home network.

The name of your weblog (this is so you can identify it later when posting).
- The XML-RPC URL. For Wordpress, this is the URL of your blog plus xmlrpc.php, e.g. if your blog is at http://foobar.wordpress.com/, your XML-RPC URL is http://foobar.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php.
- The API supported. Most modern blogging tools support the MetaWeblog API.
- Your login name and API password. This is usually the login name and password you use to log in to your blogging tool.
