All in the Family...
Posted on April 03, 2007 By Steven NovotnyMark is finishing up the relationship code this week, and it's some pretty interesting stuff. It kind of makes Arora stick out a bit, and by a bit, I mean A LOT! When we started designing Arora the user management was always a real hard concept to grasp. Actually, it is a really easy concept to grasp, but making a computer and database understand what's going on is not. For a visual aid, here is the slide that I used at one our recent demos:

In the slide you can see that we have two primary users, the mother and father (with different usernames/email addresses), and three children. The magic of Arora is that either parent can register any of the children, using completely different usernames. That's interesting... but nothing innovative... or is it?
So we know who the members of a family are... interesting. We know that Bill and John Jr. are brothers, and they have a sister little Susie.
Family discounts, sibling care, and family searching are just a few of the MANY advantages of relationships.
