About invitations, I like how it’s set-up on discourse: users can invite others by email and you can see on their profile whom they invited to the community. To me such a public list of contacts would seem more useful than the ‘friends’ section discussed (and mostly rejected) in does-anyone-really-need-friends-the-feature. And invitations could make sense, no matter if the site is invite-only or not.
