Hello, Chris. True, Habari can be used for those purposes, but it is mainly advertised as a blog platform, which is the easiest thing it does out-of-the-box. However, it did not seem like the person knew PHP and/or SQL (required knowledge for almost any hosted database platform, even to do some of the plugins), which is why I directed them to Drupal. I would be willing to help with the PHP side of things, as long as it is something I know how to do, but it is still a big undertaking, since not all plugins work correctly in all browsers (not that it is not the case for any other platform either)). Instead, it would be best to see what can be done via a local install, then it can be deployed on a server. getting the comments was not easy in of itself, when I tried making a theme, even though Habari provided a variable to grab such queries (I discovered theme.php was required in order to get comments via that route). Sometimes, the "getting your hands dirty" is not worth it, which is why I refer people to an easier route. Anyway, we'll see if the user changes their mind.
