We are considering using Drupal or Drupaled for a site that would allow users to post new articles and form social networks. As part of the stories, users would be able to upload images and videos, etc.

We also want users to be able to form informal groups to work on news stories or projects that they are interested in.

Would Drupaled be a good platform for this type of site?

Thanks for any suggestions

DrupalEd would meet this

DrupalEd would meet this need very well -- you'd probably want to change the language that is specific to courses/assignments, but after that you'd be good to go.

Thanks Bill,

We have it installed now and it looks like it will fit our needs very well. Of course being new to Drupal it also looks like we have a good bit to learn about administering and managing it.

Thanks for the great distribution.
