## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick draft of a proposal for groups in namecoin, to serve as a base for discussion. This page is not attempting at all to represent a finished proposal.
|
||||
|
||||
I propose a json key called "members" which is an array of id names. For instance "members": ["id/domob", "id/khalahan", ...] This could be a part of the id/ namespace specification, so id/namecoin_dev would have the above group entry, in addition to normal id/ information. Alternatively a new namespace, say g/ could be created to house this information.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pros of using id/
|
||||
|
||||
* Compatibility with nameid
|
||||
* * This could allow shared accounts on some sites
|
||||
* Capacity to create complicated trees of organization
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Cons of using id/
|
||||
|
||||
* No real way to prevent cyclic references, this may cause grief for software using id/ that wishes to support groups
|
||||
* * This isn't a dealbreaker, allowing org trees at all will open the door to this.
|
||||
* Shared accounts may be dangerous if a member's id/ entry expires
