Deprecated - Social software and communities

For those of you who are working on social networking, this might be of interest to you. Psyced is an advanced multi-cast, real time communication server. The server supports PSYC, Jabber, IRC and more. My modest contribution towards integrating Drupal with Psyced is this simple drupal module:

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make a social networking site, more or less as a project to keep me busy for the remaining days of summer (no, not another myspace). I've played around with Drupal for a bit, installing things like OG and Buddylist, and I did some major work on the profile module to create a pretty extensive social profile with AJAX tabs (I'll probably be uploading if I ever remember), but I've kind of run into a few problems.

Hi,

I am using Drupal now for 4 months and have solved a lot of website issues for my own website and 2 developing aid websites.
I improved the translation module, and now I am building a directory website about dutch opinion websites and try to tell people which opinions are without the needed facts to have that opinion.

I would like to have a link-exchange form/module, a block where people can add a link of their own and a tell-a-friend block.

I would like to have it drupal-minded so don't want to do it with a static page.

Can someone help me?

Hi all,

I'm a social activist from Rome, Italy, involved in promoting local buying, sustainable development and community currencies.

In the next weeks we'll start a nation-wide website to coordinate people involved in our local projects, using the advanced features of Drupal. We're oriented to make a website similar to Calgary Dollars' one (http://www.calgarydollars.ca/) but also using modules like CiviCrm/Organic Groups, Decisions (Gnuvernment) Module and soon. But we want more! Many of our activists are involved in local "GAS, Gruppi di Acquisto Solidale", which can be defined in english as "Solidal Purchasing Groups" - something similar to "Community Supported Agriculture" - (at the bottom, a better definition), so we wish to create through our new website an operative platform for these local groups, that in our intention, will use (or not) local currencies.. Looking at the existent Drupal module "Organic Groups" or the newer related to the "Usergroups.drupal.org", project, we think that with a relatively little work could be possible to create what is needed. Unfortunately we're not coders, so we wish to ask your help.

Actually it exists an italian (abandoned) project to develop what I'm saying, you'll find here:
http://equogest.cvs.sourceforge.net/equogest/equoweb/equogest_p4a/

Looking at the code you could see how big would be the modules' customization work and so decide if you can help us. If the idea is good for you....you also could help us to develop... our "dream software"!!

Has anyone tried using Drupal as a community of communities?

Yahoo Groups is a good example of what I mean. A single user can be a member of many groups (and can create his own groups, for that matter).

I've been using Drupal for quite a while now, but I haven't figured out how to accomplish this. I tried Organic Groups, but I couldn't get it to mimic the simple functionality inherent in Yahoo's system.

My motivation for this is my mother (gotta love her!). She is currently paying ~$30/year for a family website at myfamily.com. Here, people can share news, recipes, events (birthday & anniversary notifications, etc.), and photos, but it is private to their family group. The creator of the group has wide administrative authority in the group he/she creates, but not in other groups that someone else created. In fact, a member cannot see another family's group, unless invited by the group owner!

When I first saw her site, I thought, "Drupal can do all of this!", but now I've run out of options. Obviously Drupal can do many things needed already. The content creation functionality already exists. Commenting on pictures and news can already be done. In fact, most of these things can be done out of the box, or with a contributed module here and there. I can easily see how Drupal can work for a single family's site, but what about groups of family sites?

In concept, it seems easy enough to simply add a variable to each node (taxonomy, maybe), but how can this be done so that it is invisible to the users? Because of their nature, it would be easy to figure out what theme to attach to a specific node, but what about when it comes to module-generated pages?
