This is one interesting project that can be worked upon online collaboratively.

There's however a little caution we'll have to take. We're *not* a social networking website. So if our inviter sends email to all contacts from our address book; then it would simply be called as spamming. Instead, we should develop it in such a way that it will let us choose who we want to invite, along with a personal message.
If we get master coders, the inviter shouldn't take more than 2-3 weeks to get ready.

Yeah, very glad there is no 'add a friend' feature to CE. 😁

We've a 'follow' feature that makes sense. It allows every engineer to follow another engineer and build followers. The invite feature will enable every engineer 'invite' their fellow engineers to the site so that we can build a powerhouse of ideas & some real-world projects.
My focus for the next two-three months is going to be expanding CE beyond discussions.
If no one's taking this up, I think we'll have to find external coders.

Yes, I have used the 'follow' feature. 😛
Good Luck with the CE expansion. 👍
Looking forward to it! 😀

Update:
I did a study of how the current invite systems work. I want to know would you want to invite your friends by -
- Entering their email address & sending a personal message to them OR
- Fetching your contacts (in a secure way, of course) and then selecting who you want to send invite to.
I'd really appreciate your quick feedback.

2nd option with and/or without PM.
Thanks!
What about other CEans? Would you appreciate this feature?

ya i also choose second option it's best way to invite friend .

I like the 2nd option too. There should be a way of fetching contacts separately from Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter Followers, Facebook friends etc.

-
I like second option but also want to give some suggestions like in my address book there are some bot-contacts so i don't want to send them invitation.
is is possible that first it fetch all the contacts then when you press 'a' it will display all the contacts starting from 'a' and from that we can choose the contacts.

Supports the second option. And I prefer an option to add a PM there.

Okay, it makes sense to first display a list of contacts and then allow user to select the ones they want to invite. I didn't get the PM feature being talked here. What exactly we'd want to do?

By PM, I meant writing something in my own words to the friend I am sending the invitation to.
Typical invitation e-mails doesnt contain something like that, right? They just say 'your friend has invited you to join something' or the likes. It would be more realistic and promising if I invite a friend in my own words.
The invitation mail maybe of a common format along with an option to add a description about CE in our own words.

Okay, got it. Personal message looks good. I thought 'private message' aka 'conversations' we've. Personal message to users we're inviting is a must. 😀
Thank you for your suggestion.

Where have you been? Well, we need someone who can commit to the project. But you can surely chip in whenever we need help. 😀

I am damn busy with my projects,
BTW you want this tool as a standalone application or integrated with ce
On which software ce is currently based on?
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
The application will be tightly integrated with CE. The software is based on Xenforo.

Hello CEians. This might be useful tool. #-Link-Snipped-#
It has also friend inviter feature.
I got credit for searching this tool. 😎

We want to integrate it with CE, Is is Possible?

I think there is already a friend inviter add-on for this. Check here: <a href="https://xenforo.com/community/threads/paid-add-on-ragtek-invite-system.10342/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">[paid add-on] Ragtek Invite System | XenForo community</a>

The invite system is already there, but it requires users to add email address manually. I think it's better if we fetch contacts and then ask members to select people they wish to invite.
Openinviter current does not have integration with XF.

-
It would be better if all CEans go here (#-Link-Snipped-#) and fill just one line form and request OPENINVITER for Xenforo.
It is just like voting. 😀

Why not develop one on our own?

I'd like both. Definitely, we'll be building our own but also let Openinviter also make their own. We'll have more choices. 😀
