Is Ruby on Rails the right framework for setting up a system that can successfully accomplish the following tasks: -flexible user roles and permissions -automated workflows -robust taxonomies -robust search engine -event calendar -RSS capacity -tagging -member directory -social networking capacities, including listservs and/ or forums, the ability for individual members to form "groups," group space, individual and group blogging, wiki capacity -all members should be able to contribute content to the site, subject to editorial approval -ongoing site maintenance should not require programming expertise A Yay or nay will do. If you would, in sentence, explain your answer, that would be great too. --Sandra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Whether it''s the "right" framework would depend on other considerations. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Which type of platform to choose is up to you. Unfortunately Drupal is written in PHP, but I haven''t yet come across a better system for all those higher level tasks (pointers welcome). But Drupal either includes or has plugins for all those features. Don''t underestimate how much effort it will be to set up and maintain a complex community site like that though - no matter what platform you use. -- Cheers Anton --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
