#CMS Solutions
We need an easy way to deploy minisites for any chapter member that wants to have their own website. this will initially include: Blog, Calendar, Forum, Chapter Projects, Issue Tracker/TODO, here is a schema defined by jesse grevenor.
the idea is to package this, in a way so that a user goes to the main site, login/joins, clicks on a button to create a chapter, this then goes out creates the minisite, gives admin permissions to the chapter administrator...
#proposed CMS solutions
at the present, we are considering OpenAtrium and other CMS systems, here is the list:
- Anahita
- Buddy Press
- Concrete
- Cynapse
- Diaspora
- Dolphin
- Elgg
- GitHub/PaaS
- iKaaro
- Open Atrium
- TeamLab
- Trac
- Web2py
- Xoops
- Zotonic
so which will be the CMS that will allow us to do what we need:
hardware - requirement
- low spec hardware
- easy to manage
- easy to scale
- secure
- available
- functionality - requirement
central login and session management
- non platform specific or use of proprietary softaware.
- l10n & i18n - out-of-the-box
- pre-built modules ready to use. (issue tracker, forums, etc..)
- ability to share information between domains.
- always having a back-up of the data.
- able to move the data from one host to another with minimum downtime.
