The Open Source Community System (OSCS) is an experiment. I got it on my mind since I came
across the Internet in 1994. Well, I know there are a lot of good community systems outside,
but... well, I'd like to build a better one ;-)
OSCS will (hmm, should) boldy go where no community system has gone before!
Technology/features/ideas/concepts:
- Based on wide-spread technology: Apache, PHP and MySQL
- The community member and her/his privacy is *very important* (sorry, spam folks)
- Easy to administer for non/low-techs
- Modular design
- Modules: user admin, community newspaper with article db, community calender, real anon
and non-anon voting system, personal presentation, com corner (forum, email etc.), searchable
url catalog and whatever might be suitable ;-)
- Community administration can be voted... no more community kings: real democracy
for Internet communities!!
- And more... <your input here>
I am working on the database model and the modular design at the moment... and if you wanna
join in with your ideas, please let me know and send an email to mike<at>open-community.org.
It's only a small step for us... so join in!
Cheers,
Mike Quest
