Heres the deal,
Within each module type, I want users to be able to define if the data within that module is accessibly to anyone else. For instance:
In the blog, they could set it to "public" or "private". If it's private, they would have the option to "invite" someone to see their blog, OR a Single post of their blog.

My idea is, they want to have a private journal. Maybe they want their significant other to see their whole blog.. But, if they have an entry about a friend, maybe that user will want to send an "invite" too see that single entry within their blog.

I would want to apply this to other sections as well (one I'm thinking about developing). Is this support within the core?

Is there an "invite" system. This invite would consist of which node/blog/whatever, when it expires (how long the invite is good for), etc. How much work would it be for me to implement this into drupal?

I also really need this functionality. Or something even grosser, like all users with a certain role are the only ones who can see the forum module at all. The broken Groups module would also do it.

This is pretty crucial for what we want to do with Drupal, but I'm not yet a PHP hacker, and if I can't find a solution soon we will probably pursue another web backend.
