To build a new project I will be need to master the ideas and tools which seem to be hyped as Web 2.0. This blog will record my journey.
I have worked with computers for over 30 years, more as an architect than as a coder. My new project is to build a collaborative website that will bring together a group of people with a specific common interest. So the site will need lots of content that interests them, and ways for groups of them to find each other and share their interest.
“It’s been done!” I hear you cry, and I hope that you are right. I don’t think it has been done for this interest-group.
To build the site, I want to reuse as much as possible of what has already been learned. I have some experience building samll sites using Net Objects Fusion, and I like that tool. But my research tells me it won’t be the best foundation for this project.
What am I going to use? The hot favourite is CivicSpace, CiviCRM and drupal.
