hello there,
great module!
i'd like to use some of OG's (+contrib) nice features in conjunction with storm; e.g. you got a pool of freelancers and a customer who is about to commission work- some freelancers apply, the customer chooses one and gives him access to the og group, which at the same time is a storm organization, the freelancer assigned as "people" with all the cool features of timetracking, expenses, etc. this is just one example why an integration of og with storm could be very powerful, as og with extensions is feature-rich and can mirror lots of structures/dynamics in companies, teams, co-workers and business situations.
what do you think? if you're not convinced by my given example i can give you more, as a better connection between these two modules could be useful in several upcoming situations for me...
thanks for your time.

i should probably explain a bit more if you are not familiar with og, as actually a co-operation should be possible without much hassle, as far as i can tell- probably as an addon-module for storm? with og i can make any content type a group node, or a group post. so it already works to make an organization be a group; but yet the persons of the organization have no relation to the groups members. of course one would run into trouble with permissions at a first glance, but while storm offers fine grained permissions for every content type used, those of og are rather basic- however, they do probably interfere at some points (but one could probably be overriden by the other?)
p.s.: when writing this i realized that persons can only be assigned to one organization- so for my example the project would rather be made an og group than the organization; both cases however could make sense and as i can make both organizations and projects to groups, this powerful addition only lacks transferring group members to persons and some taking care of permissions, yay!
