I am developing a website/portal for a large group of Civil Society organisations (CSOs). The portal is aimed eventually accommodation all the NGOs in the country.
I am a joomla addict and would like to use joomla for this project.How my instint tells me drupal is better for this project
Below I list the features expected.
If it was you would you use drupal or Joomla?
If I use Drupal what modules would I need. I have been learning Drupal but cannot say I can kick ass yet
Please advise
The portal will seek to document;
Best practices
Innovative technologies
Lessons learnt
Policy Papers
Tools for CSOs- Eg for monitoring & Evaluation etc
Events Calendar.
Free emails accounts for stakeholders. (using google apps)
Relevant documents collected from stakeholders. (should be able to download directly)
should be able to post Videos uploaded on you tube for example
It will also consist of news updated daily,
human compiled and updated directory for all CSOs in the country
Forum
Photo Organizer
Social Networking community for users
Blogging service for users
Newsletter.
Each CSO should have their area where they can post info about themselves
Should be able to form discussion groups around different themes
Create and share documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
Arrange meetings, set schedules, and publish event information.
I noticed that drupal hispano located at drupal.org.es does not work.
It went down for a few days but now is gone for more than a week.
Any info?
Are there other Spanish groups that I can check meanwhile?
I would like to build custom UI for creating custom organic groups instead of having to go through admin screen. Is there a quick way to customize / extend the og module to do that. Should I look at building custom Forms and then calling og module functions?
Secondly: can I add custom attributes to organic groups as well?
From a drupal novice but quickly learning! If no answers, could you point me to an alternate forum? Thanks!
