I totally agree.

There is the concept of nexus to split the system by "organic/natural"
grouping. The idea is to create groups based on user's data like city,
province/land/whatever, country, working groups, etc.

It's like areas in LF but with a cool name (inspired in circles on Google+,
I must admit).

This is pretty close to what I was thinking.

One idea was to use LF API (in node.js if I'm not wrong) as a backend. I
particularly like LF core in pure SQL, it is good piece of software.

I guess we should have a mailing list for these ideas/projects ;)

Thanks!
