In his Pay it forward article, Sun came with a great idea : let's use the Snowman distribution to organize local groups and meetups.
Since some even say that snowman is dead, this could be a great way to bring it back to life :).
For the beginning, it could be really simple :
- public user listing
- "fancy" with pictures, with some attributes hidden
- private user listing
- visible only to members
- some detail available
- search
- events
- title
- date
- description
--event signup-- is allready over the top - it should be very simple in the beginning ...
As much as i like planning and analysis, i think trying to make it work will be more important here :).
I personally get stuck pretty soon when trying to think about ways how to do this :
- views ?
- they are not in core yet ... there is a branch called 8 - does it work ? does it make sense to use it now ?
- or should we try to use the way of the Red Hen - using EntityFieldQuery instead ?
- testing infrastructure
- I have a feeling that propper distribution development is way more efficient with sofisticated infrastructure - i admire the setup that Commerce is using and wonder what others have in this field - it would be great if some of these could help.
