Hey everyone,

Apologies in advance if i'm posting in the wrong place!

I've recently begun working on a Social Networking script for use by various friends that wish to set up communities.
It's like Social Engine, but will be released as open source just in case anybody wants to use it.

It's written in PHP and is themeable and has a similar login structure to Wordpress ( seperate pages etc ). I've decided to look for some advice in what people look for in something like it.

Is it core functionality? Or customisability?

This is pretty much a feature suggestion question.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Why not jump in and help a already opensource social network project. Diaspora

Hey anzenketh,

Thanks for the reply,

I considered that, but it's more of a learning project and seing if i can put my skills into use, but it's given me alot to think about.

Diaspora actually looks really cool!

Thanks again

Open Source projects love students. They have a lot of great ideas. If you want to test skills join them and see if you can fix bugs.

I'll look into it and give it a try.

Thanks again for the advice!

There are actually pretty many commercial social network scripts available which you can take inspiration from. As an example I would like you to suggest to take a look at Chameleon software (http://chameleon.sta...ialnetwork.com/) and Jive (http://www.jivesoftware.com). Just remember about copyright issues
