Deprecated - Social software and communities

I am really impressed with the new Drupal installation profiles. I hope that they are a continuing trend in drupal. I would like to see a profile geared toward Schools because schools, grammar and high schools in particular, are usually the victims of poor websites. Often they are forced to build their own in house or hand it over to the district to manage. They are given spotty sites with long names with email addresses such as johnsmith@erskineacademy.pvt.k12.me.us. I think Drupal is the perfect solution for the underpaid, over worked Sys Manager of the local school district.

A profile geared to parent, student, administration, and teacher communication would be a god send. It would be made even better if there were a few modules created to track homework, grading, report cards, and school news and events. This would help schools avoid costly alternatives that use money they really don't have.

Truly, there is no group more deserving of such an easy installation profile than the school system. I'm not just saying that because I am a substitute teacher.

Thoughts on Modules:

Report Card Module:
A module that would track classes, homework, link to teacher profiles, over all grades for students as well as ending grades. The printer friendly version would be a printable report card that parents and teachers can view, but not the student.

Homework Module

I’m looking for help, advice and guidance on how to develop a leading edge P2P service which will allow users to earn revenue in return for hosting and distributing commercial and copyrighted materials with the approval of copyright owners.
Requires P2P client, Tracker, modern e-commerce site, media management and search. I was very encouraged to read about http://www.pando.com http://drupal.org/node/114765

Hi all,

Ok, I got my site up and running.. now I'd like to hear some tips from others... how do you attract new users to sign up if your site is basically new and without users? I might make a few "fake" accounts but I'm not sure about it. The other thing would be to ask some of my friends to register.... What else is there ?

My site is about one specific genre of music.... so my target is people who like that specific genre of music.

I can't seem to create a vocabulary for organizing different types of groups on my site. Some groups are special-interest, others are geographical, etc, but all use the same "Group" node type I was directed to create when setting up Organic Groups.

Trouble is, when I attempt to create a vocabulary, the "Group" type I created is absent from the list of types. What have I done wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions.
