Community Website Script?

If my company Nanofied Produtions were to take the time (around 2 months) to develop a script for people to run their own community do you think it would be worth our time and money? We would build something along the lines of a www.boardingscene.com (my site) and www.myspace.com mix. Members of the community would be able to do use features such as...

1.Videos
2.Pictures
3.Blogs
4.Forums
5.Profiles (Like Myspace)

I would like to hear some feedback from members here to see if my company should do it or not. Help me decide what features it should include, and what price I should charge per lisense.

I already talked to my programmer, and we can do it... it just depends on whether or not users think we should.

Thanks!

(Mods... If there is a better place for this, please move it if you want)

 

I think it'd be cool.

 

can't you already do all that with joomla / drupal / xoops etc?

 

Thanks... I actually am workign on a design right now, sorta like the default template so people get more of an idea.

As for what you can do with all the others, the idea of this would be to base it of of what the users want... not what some big flashy company does.

 

check out www.phpfox.com they have something similar

Demo: http://www.phpfox.com/demo/

 

Thanks... That helped me out a good bit. I did notice though that they want $300 for one linsense! I was planning on making ours if we do this more like $50. Also, their features seem really generic in a sense. There is nothing really special about it. Also that stock design is really all that great.

So what are some features people would like to see, and things like that...

I want this to managed by the users in a sense, so that if users need something... we will be open to creating it. Like when you look at IPB and such, they seem to be more into theirselfs and moeny, then how their product works.

I hope me and my programmer can get this done...

 

Same programmer you sued? Or a differnt one?

 

Different one... Completely different. This one is my premanent one that works for me a lot. I never ended up sueing that guy, because it turned outhe sold the site to 3 different people besides me. The bank got me a full refund in second, although paypal still hasnt figured outwhat is going on...

 

Subscribed...

 

Good to see people are interested in it...

 

I really don't understand what you mean. All the things you mentioned above come as mods or add ons for all the packages I mentioned above. And I think they are all open source so they are free.

 

be wary.... nothign more needs to be said

 

Can you show me the plugins/mods for videos and member profile/blogs? I dont think I have ever saw them.

 

Cky47 - there are a huge number of open source solutions providing something of the same. Why not create plugins for the most popular ones instead; Joomla, Xoops and so on? Just visit opensourcecms.com and see which ones are most popular.

Plugins can be sold, and they are much less work...

 

Maybe...

Is their any other type of script people would really like to see, that maybe we could create?
