Its all in the interpretation!

A big problem with having a web service that is designed to be highly user centric is allowing them to customize their experience of the site safely.
You can allow them to modify things like themes under your own control. But what about actual content? What CONTENT can you allow them to manipulate? This is a big risk in terms of security and privacy over all. Most web services because of this limit it to highly predefined things like some text.

So how am I looking to do it? First off there is two portions to a system that I am suggesting.

  • Front end, where the actual editing goes on.
  • Back end, verification and manipulation of site content.
