Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 chm]:
 >  * Privately shared activities should not show up on the Neighborhood
 view or maybe even the Group view.  I'm not clear on how sharing works for
 private sessions like (A invites B to activity X.  Can B then invite C to
 the same session of X?  Does A have to do the inviting? Does A have to
 approve?  What about old state (previous dialog in a Chat...)?

 We are operating under an open sharing model, to prevent the need for lots
 of management overhead.  Anyone in an activity is free to invite anyone
 else.  There is no "owner".  In the case of the Chat example, I might
 argue that yes, that previous conversation is kept.  This is up to the
 activity author, no doubt, but the whole intent of retaining state with
 activity instances is to make it possible for such things to happen.  If I
 want to start a new conversation, I should do so, just as I would pick up
 a new piece of paper to write a note to a friend, instead of writing it on
 the back of something private I wrote.

 >  * Share with friends activities should show up in the Group view but
 not the Neighborhood

 Actually, the zoom levels are intended to be strict subsets of the next.
 Something seen in Groups should definitely be seen in Neighborhood.
 However, only those individuals who have been given access to an activity
 (via invitation, sharing, etc.) will be able to see it.  If you can't join
 it, you can't see it.
