[Track request] Creating identity and social features in PHP.

I would like Treehouse to create a PHP user profile creation, authentication, and security track. Many websites have a social or identity component. For some features, such as profile pages or messaging, maintaining an identity is critical. However, I am finding it difficult to make the leap from what I've learned in the PHP track to creating a full fledged social or identity system. I have also been unable to find another reliable tutorial that I can trust to include all the best practices regarding security. So I am posting this discussion as a vote for Treehouse to prioritize a track that teaches implementing secure identity and social features with php.

If anyone has any other resources helpful in learning about this type of programming, including those links here would be appreciated too.

I like your idea but maybe it would be better suited to a single project, writing a secure social login system in PHP. I've written them before, but my lessons learned are all collected in my head right now.

Anyway, I like this idea. It's worth discussing.
