i'm working on this project (a community site for local artists) with a friend of mine. we came with a pretty cool design for our CMS but neither of us are programmers and we can't afford to pay anyone (unless you want to do it for free...or beer money...or beer). so we need a CMS and I was wondering if anybody here knew of anything that exist like this:
Projects
- user starts a "project page"
- "project pages" would have status categories ("needs help", "finished", etc.)
- user can grant permission to edit the "project page"
- invite other users to "join" the via personal or mass private message
- other users can request to "join" (obviously, would need to be approved)
- media can be attached (pictures, video, sound) ...for bandwidth's sake, it'd be nice to limit the total space for attachments. but i don't anticipate success, so i guess it's a bit of a moot issue.
- any user can vote on weather or not they like the project
- any user can leave a comment
- any user can flag as spam, NSFW, etc. (site master would see that and them make the final decision)
each user would have a profile with some basic info, an artist's statement, and a list of projects they have been involved in
users could become "fans" of other users to keep up with what their working on. i'd like to give the user option between RSS, e-mail (batch e-mail once an X), or on-site for such updates.
Ease of use (for the users) is extremely important because we're looking a audience that is mostly not tech savvy.
Do you know of something that would work for me?
Or would you like to make it? ...i have another website idea that would run on something very similar, so i got this crazy idea of making some sort Open Source CMS....but i feel that is (less than) a pipe dream.
Thanks for your help.
