=== Adding social ids ===
 +
What are social ids?
 +
 +
Social IDs identify a user on external platforms uniquely.
 +
 +
To create mini profiles in group view, we can add a social_ids dictionary to BaseBuddy model in addition to other properties like nick and color. social_ids is a mapping of `service key` : `uid`.
 +
E.g. {'/desktop/sugar/user/social/project_sharing_website': '19348r93jfioaf', '/desktop/sugar/user/social/another_service': 'adfjafp1asdf'}
 +
 +
social_ids can be stored in gconf. As multiple social_ids are added, we will have a gconf file that looks like this:
 +
 +
<code language="xml">
 +
<gconf>
 +
    <entry name="color" mtime="1370907925" type="string">
 +
        <stringvalue>#FF8F00,#00A0FF</stringvalue>
 +
    </entry>
 +
    <entry name="nick" mtime="1370907925" type="string">
 +
        <stringvalue>Akshit Khurana</stringvalue>
 +
    </entry>
 +
</gconf>
 +
