September 1, 2009 at 07:39Habr, i need help
Hello readers of our blog! I need help. Recently, I decided to make a small website and ran into some problems. The essence of the site is to help musicians and just lovers to listen / play music to select the necessary piece of iron or program. This is implemented in the form of a collective blog ala Habrahabr, with the only difference being that each post is a certain piece of iron or software, in the description of which there is only a photo, a fichelist, TTX and ... no laudatory reviews. Users themselves give marks to pieces of iron and write in the comments how wonderful they are (or vice versa).
As a result, after some time, we should have (in theory) a large base of hardware and software. And when we need new headphones, monitors or a guitar, we don’t need to climb the forums, ask what is better to buy, and then wait for an intelligible answer for a few days, we just go to the site, look at the estimates of which the community prefers and read in the comments why it prefers one or another model. Here is such an idea.
At the moment, there are two implementations of the site (not completely completed yet: D) - one on Drupal, the other on LiveStreet (almost like Habr). The first version is flexible, powerful and all that, but I don’t have enough mind for it, the second (LiveStreet) is ready, although now I can post it, but it seems to me that Drupal is better in the future.
This was a problem number one. The second problem is to give users the opportunity to post or not, to register or not?
Problem number three flows smoothly from problem number two. If only selected ones will post, then there should be some form through which users will report models of hardware and software that they would like to see on the site. Later, the elect should rake in applications, rummage through manufacturers' websites, translate descriptions into Russian and post the whole thing on the site. In the near future, only one person will enter the circle of favorites - me. And I will have to tight when the number of applications will be in the tens. Since the project is non-profit, we can only be selected as a volunteer, and in order for the number of volunteers to be more than 0, you need the project to be at least a little popular, and this takes time (it’s not a fact that anyone needs it at all ) What to do and how to be is not clear:We will edit posts that are incorrectly formatted and verify the accuracy of the data. Also not a fountain, but still easier than doing everything yourself.
Total:
1. Drupal or LiveStreet? Or are there any other suggestions before it's too late?
2. Do registration or not? Should registered users be allowed to write posts?
3. How to make sure that the information written by users on the site is accurate and framed according to some template?
Here is such a story. If anyone is interested in the project, I will be glad to any help :)
PS Sorry for the unsuccessful topic name, but I couldn’t invent anything better :(
