OpenScholar

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

OpenScholar represents a paradigm shift in how the personal academic and research web sites are created and maintained. Built on the open-source framework Drupal, OpenScholar makes it possible to create academic web sites in a matter of seconds. Each web site comes with a suite of powerful tools from which users can facilitate the creation, distribution, and preservation of knowledge faster and more efficiently than ever before.
OpenScholar allows users to create genuine, feature-rich web sites on the fly in seconds and is designed to host an unlimited number of web sites in a single installation.

Parallel language versions of scholar pages?

I am looking for a feature I may only have missed, in which case I apologise in advance:
I live and work in France and while I am perfectly happy with my academic website being only in English, the issue has been raised several times by colleagues and university hierarchy.
So, is there a way of having several parallel versions of each page, one in each language, with some sort of language selection device for the visitor?
It seems like something quite a lot of people would find useful.

Developing your own OpenScholar features?

I'm wondering if anyone out there is developing custom features for OpenScholar? We'll be experimenting with developing a set of custom features in the coming weeks, but first wanted to see what others were up to. We're also curious if anyone has put together any docs on the process?

Our features will relate to a few foreign language classes we support as well as other course-related projects.

Thanks!

    Open university system

    Hello friends!
    I hear at the acquia webinar that OpenScholar planing to integrate some university functional.
    I discussed few projects for universities and large medical centers and I think that such sites need microsites with own spaces and features for faculties or departments.
    I decided to built this system. I think this system could be very expected, because it meets requirments of large communities. Imagine community of some association with main site and many microsites of organizations who make this community.

    OpenScholar and Social Media Classroom

    Wanted to let folks know that the Drupal 6 and eventually Drupal 7 upgrade for the http://socialmediaclassroom.com project is going to be done in a way that will make it:

    1. An optional install profile to use with OpenScholar as base

    2. The features of "Blog, Forum, Wiki, Chatroom, Social Bookmarking, Learning E-Portfolio (and microblog and RSS and other data import in Drupal 6 version)" will also be features available for other types of sites if the OpenScholar install profile is run.
