Purpose
A Social Networking Portal is a web portal that provides a virtual community for people interested in a particular subject or just to 'hang out' together.

Software Requirement Specification

We can say that the relevance and implementation of a specification, as distinct from requirements, is easier to understand in a traditional engineering environment where a tool or utility is to be a part of the overall solution. In commercial software there are two main issues with the specification. Firstly the workflow and the software solution are inseparable. Knowledge of the software capability (which is flexible) is required before the optimal workflow can be designed. Secondly a software specification, that lays out what is functionally required, can be as detailed as the program code and it is difficult to maintain the SRS and keep it in step with the software program. Sections of the SRS look redundant after the software is produced, in that the code repeats the functional specification. In traditional engineering this is not the case, the product or component specifications are not documented in a form that relates to the production, i.e. the engineering specification consists mainly of measurable attributes that the product needs to satisfy or parts diagrams of what the product should look like.We have tried to put the best of our capability to implement the above two mentioned issues in SoNet.
