[buddypress-dev] Privacy component

[Donnie La Curan]

Ya, I was kind of thinking of something along the same lines.  There would
be an area where you can make "friend levels" ... or maybe those are
predefined to only include {x} number of levels.  Who knows.  But then on
the writing page, there could be another module just like the category
module.  Maybe either radio buttons, then they select the lowest group they
want to see the post, and everyone in a group higher than that can see it
... or check boxes and they have to select all of the groups they want to
see the post.
