social networking

I am building a social networking site for a particular sport. I'm using Drupal 6. I've read lots of documentation, a few books and have become quite dangerous. I'm hoping to find someone who would be able to sit down for a couple of 2-3 hr sessions to review what has been done and provide a few pointers. And correct my misunderstanding of how Drupal works. Need some particular help in the Organic Groups area to ensure this is being setup as expected and to understand the features I'm missing.

Требуется php программист, друпаловод, житель Воронежа. Интересный и перспективный проект.
Работа в офисе, полный рабочий день (в общем не фриланс)

С чем работать:
views, panels, cck, blocks, image, organic groups, tagadelic, taxonomy

все это будет вертеться вокруг особенного модуля, который необходимо будет расточить.

After about 4 months of development, we've launched http://www.betternetworker.com!

BetterNetworker is an online community for the network and internet marketing industry.

The original site was built on Joomla 1.0.13, along with community builder. The new community is now on Drupal 5.x.

Part of this build out involved converting all membership data, including friends, photo galleries, forum posts (from FireBoard), all content (6,000+ articles and videos), comments, statistical data, for over 16,000 users.

Since our site launch, we've gained over 1,000 members in a week.

Jobs should only be posted to 4 groups. I've limited this to willamette so that you can re-assign to the appropriate groups.

We are building a multi-site Drupal network and will modify and integrate modules that have not been done in this fashion before.

We like to work in small chunks of ten to fifteen hours a week and we use Assembla.com to communicate and keep on-track.

This is a big job and it will take months, but the budget is available. We have a full-time project manager and a designer on the team.

Hi,

I've just launched a new Drupal social network (http://drupalsn.com) and i'm now actively promoting the site, but i'm hoping to spark some debate as to how everyone out there promotes their social networking sites so we can share ideas and strategies and see which ones work best!

My personal view is social networks can be hard to promote, because you obviosuly want to drive traffic to your site but you also want sign ups. Does traffic automatically mean sign ups or do you need a more specific strategy?
