h1. Organizations

h2. What is an organization?

An organization is any group of two or more people who have affiliated themselves for a common purpose.  The purpose of an organization is whatever the members of that organization choose.  Some organizations may be purely social in nature while others adhere to a rigid hierarchy and a code of conduct.  Organizations have the option of opening bank accounts and building structures, charging membership dues, and leasing property to members.

* Organizations form the backbone of the social network within Dreamverse.  

* There are no limits or restrictions on how many members an organization can have.

* An individual may join any number of organizations.

* Organizations may restrict or revoke membership based on other memberships of an individual.

h2. Why join an organization?

Joining an organization may provide all sorts of benefits to the member.  Some organizations may provide access to goods or services that are unavailable through any other means.  Other organizations may provide protection and security.  The reasons for joining an organization are numerous and depend entirely upon the organization and the individual and different individuals may join the same organization for entirely different reasons.

h2. Codeless Area Builder

The Codeless Area Builder, or CAB, is a set of tools which players and Builders can use to add content to Dreamverse without having to learn how to programming or how to work with the LPC language and the details of the Dreamverse mudlib.  The CAB utilizes JSON(Javascript Object Notation) documents to contain the data and stores these documents in an Apache CouchDB document database.  This allows content providers, the players and Builder's, to access and edit this database through a standard WWW browser or with tools and utilities written to work with JSON.
