Let say, I have created a group and some of

Socnet just provides the APIs to other plugins.  If one of those APIs is to give ad-hoc subscription abilities to a single user, then that is where Socnet begins and ends for communication.

The initial version of Socnet could probably do without this feature.  I would hate to have a student not complete the requirements due to an overwhelming number of added features.

Shared information?  This is up to the plugin that implements Socnet.
