DoneDone
- Add an "invite a friend" button
- User inputs the full name and email address for the friend
- Adds a short invitation message (perhaps public)?
- Clicks "send the invitation"
- Emails a message to the friend including a special link
- Clicking the special link walks the friend through a simple "create an account" wizard with pre-populated information fields (name, email, and suggested username)
- When the account is finished being created, the new member page includes a bit about "invited by XXXX" with a link to them
- The member who invited them has their page edited to include "YYYY is here because I invited them"
