Hey guys.
last year i was thinking to a concept (planet agent) to help saving our planet earth by the potential power of people,
the idea is to launch a website which is a social network of environmental activists, Main feature of this social network would be th e possibility of reporting environmental issue and geotagging these contents in a way that could generate geographical RSS feed from them or a geographical newsletter which would be sent to activist in the same area...
After some research I got to know Drupal and its almost a month that have been learning it on and off. Unfortunately the more I learn The more I get to the point that Drupal is not for amateurs like me, but as far as I have decided to finish this job i am writing here to ask about your opinions about workflow and recommended modules for this specific job.
Here is a full description of the concept along with a video:
What is this social network about?
It happens to many of us to pass by an unpleasant scene of destroying our planet, but not every one has the motivation, knowledge and resources to bring a civil action against this cases. As a planet Agent we can report these kind of information by taking a photo or recording a video and uploading it to a website dedicated to environmental activists, to gather information from all over the world and process this information in relevant groups including environmental activists,scientists, lawyers and green politicians to investigate about the case, try to solve the problem by collaborating, and consequently if there is no other way rather than the court of law, to institute legal proceeding against the case as the final solution,
This participation in the first phase would be carried out by local contributers which are members of green Agent community. however this issues might escalate to a countrywide or worldwide concern as always there are local industries that resist against green laws & can't bear environmental activists.
Process:
After that pictures,videos and other information are uploaded to the website and located exactly on the map(By extracting geotag informationon the photos(Many recent cameras are equipped with photo geotagging) or just manually as it is done in websites like panoramio.com,) person who has published the information, would add some initial suggestions that could be done about the case, other members of the community can propose other possible measure to be taken about the case or just confirm their availability for one of the choices which could be done to solve the problem. at the end, depending on the members availability, they would act in relative groups and it would be more efficient if the website be equipped with proper options for virtual gathering and video conference between them.
After the solving of problem, new pictures and videos would be added to case to show activities of green agents and to encourage other members and other people to be more actively involved in environmental issues.
Hopefully this can compensate insufficiency of governmental activities and investigation regarding environmental concerns and put more pressure on politicians of a region or country as large amounts of information(photos and videos of reporters) confirm a big environmental problem in their region.
For more information you can see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59AcGZlm6lY

would be great to have some feedback,
I know the answer to this thread may be so long, but even the naming the modules that you think are good choices, would help me to study more specifically about them.
Thank you in advanced.
