Hello everyone, I want to build sort of a multi-user blog system with some "community- building" features. Right now I see it as a set of applications as such: - News. RSS-aggregated, manually translated and republished on the site "Industry News" section - Blog. Each user will have a blog of one's own and there will be one "main" blog built of users' "featured" posts. - Profile. The perfect thing to do is provide each user is a subdomain profile page, which should also be used as squidoo-kind of lense or a mashup of some user's details, one's own blog posts and some external feeds. - Forum. Just a basic forum application, but I'm thinking of a feature of creating a forum topic related to a certain news article or blog post. - Job board. Pretty straight forward here. - Event management. A site-wide calendar of events which every user should be able to "attend" (tick an "I'll be there" button) and, of course, add events to. This, indeed, must also provide an iCal feed. - Rating. Ideally I need a rating system so only authoritative and respectful authors get their "featured" posts on the main page. Thus posts and comments need to be rated.
I'm a Django noob and, basically, haven't been developing for years now, but do have a general understanding of the way things work inside the Web :) What are the applications available I might use to ease up the task? I see django-registration, django-profile and django-tagging as the required ones. What about subdomains? django-accounts seems to handle that, but how does that live together with django-profile? Speaking of other applications, is it worth building a blog and forum from scratch or would be just easier to get coltrane to handle multi- user blog and django-forum to start with the forum development? I realise that job board and event subsystem aren't available out-of-the- box to start with, but they aren't a top priority at the moment and by the time I get to them I hope do learn enough to stop asking stupid questions :) Rating is something I don't yet understand how to achieve. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
