Hello, I'm working on a social network and I'm interested in pylons as a platform for development. However I've found that more robust projects are currently built in RoR and PHP that would serve as a foundation for the project I'm working on. The social site is being designed to allow for open collaboration across projects and amongst designers and creatives of various sorts. But it appears that there aren't the proper pieces to tie such a network together in Pylons (if I paid a developer to do the heavy lifting).
For that reason I'm looking for help from the community to help me identify projects that I may have overlooked or would be willing to help develop if I get the ball rolling on this project and even hire a developer to do some initial work. Features needed are: Basic CMS (Blogging and publishing) Forums Project Management Social Networking (member profiles, friends) [real] Email and messaging File uploading/hosting Wikis galleries/portfolios for members and projects that support images and video If you think I should just go with RoR that already has enough projects like lovdbyless.com to build a robust app, or if I should really go for pylons then I'm open to comments and ideas. The project is going to be opensource (of course). Note: I'm a designer with little programming experience and I'm trying to string together this project as a service to designers and creatives of all types (engineering, architecture, industrial design, film) for the benefit of all of us. I'm even investing my own money into it not expecting to get anything back. I just want to make the most dynamic and appropriately featured environment for project collaboration (commercial and non-commercial) across a social network. Thanks for reading. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
