Hello Drupal Community,
I'm Paul from Germany and I've just got started with Drupal.
My skills: Very basic (worked with Joomla before)
Therefore, I started to look for a Distribution, which I can learn from. Unfortunately, besides many great Distributions, I couldn't find a fitting template for my matter.
My Matter:
I want to create a 'Service Marketplace' (one common service e.g. dog walking) where people can create profiles as e.g. dog walker with experience, photo AND availability (calendar) etc. Those people can be searched by the counter-party (people looking for a dog walker) for a certain period of time and location close by. Money will be transferred to me first and after both parties confirm successful completion of a job, the money goes to the dog walker deducting a certai percentage as administrative costs and the client leaves a rating and report. (So I need a booking systeme and rating systeme) . http://dogvacay.com/ < is a great example how that might be looking like.
I tried the 'Recruiter' Distriution which is sort of a 'marketplace' but the search criteria are related to 'open jobs', not 'people search' (according to location/zip code/experience level).
My Question:
I'm really open to learn and put some effort in it. However, I think my matter might be quite advanced (I was told that several times by professionals I asked about it).
