Note: At present in CTP1 the main social elements are the journal and the enhanced profile visibility - both of these are covered at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/DotNetNuke-6-2-Developer-Quick-Start.aspx . the target with CTP2 is to include the ful social messaging and social groups capabilities.

There is not a direct 1-to-1 match between activesocial and the social elements in DotNetNuke from a module perspective as we're able to make core enhancements and Will (in his activemodules days) had to workaround the core/add new elements e.g. Activesocial had a social groups capability but it was it's own dedicated database table etc., whereas we're going to simply extend the current security role to support social metadata - this has the added advantage of allowing social groups to automatically avail of any security role capabilities (such as expiry, RSVP etc.) automatically.
