Whitebeam Object Definition

Interest Object Description

This class encapsulates the concept of an 'Interest Group' - or community in the Whitebeam Membership Services system. The system allows any number of such communities to be created. Individual members can then register their interests in those groups. The resulting membership/interest group model can then be searched - for example you could search the members of an music club for everyone interested in country and western music.

Behind the scenes the membership services model extends the Whitebeam 'Contact' template.

Each Interest Group may optionally have a message board associated with it - the message board allows members of that community to communicate with each other. The message board facility is implemented using the Whitebeam Message Group template.
