Good idea.

Not sure how this will shape up for socnet.  Going to have a physical feed file that somehow checks for membership?  RSS file of changes that is easily downloaded by anyone that is not in that feed?

This is a must-have feature.  The gsoc student who will be chosen must have a way for GL admins to drill into a user's groups and admin them.  The admin could, frankly, care less about someone's social group until there are issues to deal with.
