I've long thought Habari could make a better ComicPress (http:// www.comicpress.org/) with a few additional plugins.
I would think an approach like what NetBeans does would be suitable - you pick the configured bundle at download, but presumably later can add/subtract functionality. For specific needs, without examining existing platforms, here's what I'd think might be useful for Real Estate: * Bulk photo upload/crop/rotate/retouch (doesn't need to be fancy, but *must* be easy to use) * One click update/delete outside of admin (not edit in the publish page, but inline editing on the themed output) * Mapping with the ability to add/remove multiple locations * Comparisons of postinfo - compare features side by side for two or more listings Not sure about the others yet, and I can't recall my ideas of similarly focused themes/bundles that Habari would be great for. Certainly there are many more. mikelietz On Jun 10, 8:41 am, Owen Winkler <[email protected]> wrote: > It's been a long time thought of mine that Habari could more > successfully gain popularity not as a general-purpose blogging tool, but > as a tool to implement web sites for specific market segments. > > Reading this article this morning reminded me of > this:http://greghoy.com/restauranteurs-are-smarter-than-this-arent-th > > It seems to me that if we were able to package kind of "canned" > solutions on top of Habari for implementing a working web site, we could > enter the market as a go-to tool in those industries. > > Here are a few of places where I think Habari could excel by providing > packaged site solutions: > > * Restaurants > * Real Estate > * Club/Organization > * Anything "brochure"-like > > It would be fantastic to offer Habari as an alternative, complete tool > to people who would otherwise throw up a single-page brochure site. > What additional features the site could offer as part of such a package > could be discussed. > > What functionality would we need to add to have the best ease of use for > people attempting to implement such a solution?
