I have used xoops quite a bit and it has all of the functionality I need.... EXCEPT it's designed to run 1 portal. I want to be able to run multible meeting sites for multiple groups, in a private (intranet) environment so only members can see most of the sections (couple of public areas too... but mostly private). Similar in concept to [login to view URL] - this is more focused on a particular group... but same idea... you can sign up your group and manage a bunch of features witin. I'm not married to xoops, if there are other CMS systems that you'd like to use, be my guest... I just can't affoard to have this coded from scratch, so I want to build on a base that's already there. So.... Each Private Meeting would have the following features: Set up an account, (free trial then monthly billing priced based on total # of users - probably 3 tiers ) Private Features Include: (these features are only available to members of the group) Message Boards: Polls: Download section: Calendar: News: Minute Maker: An easy to use web interface for keeping meeting minutes. (simple form) Photo Album: News Letter: Mailing List Server: 1 email address to mail all members in the group and/or lists for specific groups PUBLIC features (viewable by annonymous users) Search for your group: For Sale Pages: (no ecom... just text/photos) RSS Feed Headlines Blog: Links Page: All of these features can be managed by a comprehensive admin module, and you can assign additional moderators to any areas to help manage the site. Sound like a quick xoops site? does to me... the only thing I can't do is make it "multiple" so you can have multiple groups rather than just 1. Again, not married to xoops, it's just the CMS I'm most familliar with and that I know has basically all the modules I need... I'm sure it's not the only one though, mambo is also good?... drupal?...you tell me :) I look forward to your quotes. Riel
