9 years ago As an outside observer, my first thought is: What happens when people "break up"? Can one of them trash the data that the other one cares about? How do you determine who should actually control the garden?
Perhaps you can make it easy to clone a shared garden into a private one or something. Or perhaps I'm just paranoid :)

9 years ago Haha no that's a super valid point! Maybe there doesn't really need to be an owner, only people who access it? Like in real life: there are Gardens, and people can access them, but the garden never really goes away if everybody leaves town.
Perhaps someone could vandalize the garden though. A break up happens and one person deletes all the plants in the garden ;( But perhaps that is not for us to manage...
Though there could be some basic access controls. For example a garden could be viewed or edited by: anyone, a specific group of people, or just one person.

9 years ago Perhaps it would actually be worth looking at something like
mongoid-history to deal with vandalism concerns, though you have to think
seriously about storage concerns when you start storing the history of
every change. Having a history would be good for just being able to recover
from screwups too.

9 years ago Yes I was thinking about that dangerous delete garden button this morning. Maybe it should be an 'Archive Garden' button, and once a garden is archived it can either be deleted or restored.
There could also be an undo button for any changes made? Not sure how hard that is...
My roommates and I share the same physical Garden, it only makes sense that we should be able to share the same virtual one too.
This may be a feature for way down the road as it starts to make OpenFarm somewhat of a social network, which, I think is something that could be really powerful.
Thoughts?
