Online Community

I am currently developing a passion project, which I've recently decided will be best implemented in Drupal. The project is an online social network (like facebook etc.), however designed especially for space enthusiasts, professionals and students. The most important feature will be support for projects, goals and tasks, and various other tools to enable members to complete real space missions through global collaboration. It will also incorporate a shop, information directory, and a virtual environment to allow exploration of the Moon and Mars and experimentation with base models.

Hi all

Hi there,

I have built my first site with Drupal and now need to select a theme. The site is an online community around social media and community management. Can anyone recommend me a few good themes that would be suitable for my site?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

I am looking into using Drupal for a new social network aimed at professional and collegiate athletes (NBA, NFL, NCAA, etc.) which will allow them to connect with their fanbase which will also have access to the site membership. The requirements (whick my first platform choice, Elgg, did not adequately meet -- which, in turn, led me to Drupal by recommendation) are to have several different user types related to the industry including fans, teams, universities and career managers (or athlete agents, if you will).

Hi group!

Hey all, a while ago I made a few posts about a new group starting to discuss how to build online communities. The first meeting is now set for Thursday, July 26th 7PM at the Santa Monica Library community room. (Wifi/Projector will be there)

The group is likely to have a bit of a Drupal bias in technology terms since that is what I use and a couple other folks attending do too but the group itself is more about building the community in the marketing, networking, monetizing sense and less about the nuts and bolts.

I and a friend are currently mapping out the plans for an online youth magazine targeting youth with disabilities. We've decided that Drupal is the best platform to produce the online magazine, but with so many options available to us with the modules that are available we aren't sure where to start.

I would be interested in any tips people have about setting up an online magazine/newsletter and in running the community side (e.g. blogs, forums, etc). Also, since our target age range is 16-25 I would like to hear thoughts on protecting the privacy of our members who are minors.
