You have "Joined" a site when you have a Contact with:

You have "Followed" a profile when you have a Contact with:

First, we need a way to access the profile page. All links to people from comments or activity will go to their profile, in the context of a site. As well as all members inside the "people" tab

The URL will be: <SITE_URL>/hm/<ACCOUNT_ID>/:profile

And, when you click on the owner, the URL will be <SITE_URL>/:profile

The profile page will have tabs that look similar to the document tools tabs.

The profile URLs will have the following sub-paths:

We will add a field on the Contact which describes if the user is following the account activity or is joined to the site.

This is not final but one proposal is:

The sidebar will be changed to show these lists:

Both of these lists are determined by reading the contacts

Currently the "subscriptions" is used to decide the items in the sidebar, but now we will use Contacts exclusively.

For sites that you have not yet joined, you will see a "Join" button on the bottom left. When you click it, you will create the Contact with Subscribe.Site = true and if you are already following, your contact will be edited to include the "Site" in the Subscribe field.

If you are on web and you aren't already authenticated, you will see this button but you must Join first.

When you post a comment on a site that you have not Joined, you will automatically join it.

On the top right of the Profile screen (on all tabs), there will be a new "Follow" button which creates the Contact with Subscribe.Profile = true

If you are already following, you can remove the subscription in the ... dropdown of the Profile, either on the profile page, or in the following sidebar.

This is the list of sites that an account has Joined. It should show the full representation of the site (where it shows the recent activity and the 3 dot dropdown)

When you click on a site, it will take you to the home document

This is the list of Profiles(Accounts) that has followed a Profile.

When you click on a profile, it will take you to the profile page of that account.

Open question: which site do we open this profile on? For consistency on web, I guess we stay on the same site.

This is the list of Profiles(Accounts) that is following this Profile.

When you click on a profile, it will take you to the profile page of that account.

After this project, the Contacts page will not be needed. The "Web of Trust" will instead be shown by navigating the followers of the profiles.

As we have discussed, the "Edge names" feature will temporarily go away.

For everybody who has "Joined", they will show up in the people tab. If they are not already a writer, they will show up as a "Member"
