Project Platform ?
  • General structure and requirements (as specified
    in the Grant Application Form)
  • User presentation module - will be used to
    create and store platform users own profile, the
    user presentation module will be able to support
  • Artists allow digitized samples of own art,
    express interest in types and geographical
    locations of performance events, interest in
    particular arts or culture areas.
  • Culture infrastructure owners inventory of
    performance sites operated and available to
    artists, timetable of the events and
    availability.
  • Culture operators description of activities,
    schedule of planned events.

Project Platform?
  • Event scheduler a sort of thematic calendar,
    where platform participants will be able to
    locate and advertise their events.
  • Culture browser this module will provide a
    catalogue and search facility for any type of
    content on the platform. It will be tailor-made
    to enable searching the content (e.g. events) by
    art, region, operator, artist, etc. It is assumed
    that there will be a possibility to interface
    with 3rd party systems to provide the schedule
    other important 3rd party events.
  • Collaborative tools the popular collaboration
    tools (videoconference, chat) will be integrated
    so the platform users will be able to work online
    for preparation of common events.
  • Announcement boards a functionality allowing
    for posting messages, announcements related to
    culture.
  • Thematic discussion/reflection spaces - where
    users from different areas, cultures may freely
    participate and express their opinions on events,
    art, tradition.

Ten leading platforms for online communities
  • 1. Open source, based on PHP, and a fork of
    the Mambo project, Joomla is one of the most
    widely used content management systems and
    community platforms. It includes the usual page
    posting, discussion, blogs, polls, etc. Joomla
    has an extensive community of its own and the
    number of 3rd party plug-ins is very extensive,
    with over 3,700 currently listed, making it one
    of the richest community ecosystems in existence.
  • 2. Drupal is one of the darlings of the community
    world and would come first on this list for many
    in the community business. It's a highly capable,
    mature, and extremely popular community platform
    that includes the usual features as well as a
    workflow subsystem, support for OpenID, granular
    user security, and much more. Drupal is developed
    in PHP, is open source, and has several thousand
    3rd party modules available for it as well.
  • 3. One of the older CMS/community platforms,
    PHP-Nuke doesn't have the flair of the first two
    on this list but is still one of the most widely
    used community applications available. PHP-Nuke
    is eponymously named after the language it uses,
    is open source, and have several hundred add-ons
    available for it. Despite being one of the older
    and more traditional community platforms,
    PHP-Nuke continues to grow marketshare rapidly.

25
Ten leading platforms for online communities
(continued)
  • 4. The platform formerly known as PostNuke is now
    called Zikula and is a fork of PHP-Nuke 5.0.
    Rounding out the top four, Zikula is one of the
    older, more established offerings. It is also
    open source and developed in PHP.
  • 5. Microsoft's Sharepoint is the first commercial
    product to make the list and is also one of the
    most mature and popular. Though Sharepoint can be
    used to develop collaborative environments that
    have few community features, the most recent
    emphasis and the majority of uses I encounter are
    for community-style deployments. With the advent
    of the Community Kit for Sharepoint which adds
    "best practices, templates, Web Parts, tools, and
    source code", the product is now a capable
    contender in this space. Sharepoint has very
    extensive enterprise penetration and will be on
    the short list for many organizations given that
    they often already own it, though the warning
    above about "technology first" should apply.
  • 6. The first SaaS community platform to make the
    list is Lithium, an innovative and fast-growing
    solution for customer communities that is seeing
    broad uptake according to my metrics. One of the
    advantages of Lithium is the extensive support
    around community developers and managers that it
    provides. One of the disadvantages is that it
    does not have an open source ecosystem so the the
    amount of extensions and plug-ins available for
    Lithium is limited to standard Web widgets.
  • 7. The second .NET plaform (after Sharepoint) and
    the first open source .NET community platform on
    this list, the capable DotNetNuke has been going
    through extensive maturation over the last year.
    Written in VB .NET, DotNetNuke has an extensive
    set of 3rd party modules through its Marketplace
    service, which enables for-pay modules to be
    developed and sold, resulting in some
    high-quality offerings.

26
Ten leading platforms for online communities
(table continued)
  • 8. One of the few .NET blog platforms has evolved
    into a full-blown community product. Community
    Server is now aimed squarely at the enterprise
    and has been used in very large scale, for
    example, it is currently used to operate
    MySpace's customer forums for over 70 million
    users.
  • 9. KickApps is a relatively new up-and-comer that
    is getting wide distribution in a relatively
    short time period including major wins with large
    public Web sites for ABC and the BBC. KickApps is
    a SaaS-based solution like Lithium that is
    extensively widgetized for maximum integration
    flexibility into existing Web sites.
  • 10. ClearSpace Community from Jive Software has
    been getting a lot of attention lately,
    particularly with its popularity in the
    enterprise space. Over 15 of the Fortune 500
    currently use it and while it's highly likely
    that the open source products at the top of this
    list have higher penetration, Jive has
    consistently focused strengths in areas where
    open source products tend to be weaker,
    particularly on enterprise issues around
    security, integration, and customizability.

27
Leading platforms for online communities
(continued)
  • We can see how the technologies and platforms
    shaped up in terms of open source and commercial
    software as well as software packages vs SaaS.
    We're seeing a healthy mixture of options
    available for just about any requirements, though
    the open source options tend to be richer because
    of their extensible nature and the large number
    of contributors building plug-ins and add-ons.
  • A number of interesting offerings didn't make
    this top 10 cut and so we thought it would also
    be worthwhile to be aware about the next 15
    candidates since we are likely to see them more
    often in the near future. They made the list due
    to overall popularity, innovative features, early
    groundswell, or a combination thereof

WordPress (http//wordpress.org/showcase)
  • Today WordPress is the most popular platform.
    This is an open-source software distributed under
    the GNU GPL. WordPress provides a lot of features
    that allow the developer to quickly and easily
    manage the contents of the site. These include
    simple installation, and publication through
    third-party programs and services, support for
    Atom, RSS, pingback, trackback ability to
    connect additional plug-ins, a huge selection of
    many excellent audio/video plug-ins, a huge
    number of topics on various subjects to quickly
    change the UI, built-in capabilities to support
    the sites in multiple languages, and many others.
  • In addition, WordPress includes features such as
    comments, trackbacks, blogger profiles and
    pinging services, making it easy to use for the
    analysis of traffic and control the operation of
    the site.
  • On the other hand, WordPress is not a
    developer-friendly system. In addition, certain
    plugins and WordPress updates have more bugs than
    fixes and may compromise your computer. It is
    therefore necessary to check the updates for the
    presence of viruses and read reviews when
    upgrading or installing WordPress plugins.
    Overall, WordPress is an effective system for any
    beginner or an experienced user, which makes it a
    very versatile CMS.

WordPress (http//wordpress.org/showcase)
  • Advantages
  • WordPress is not just received a reputation for
    being extremely easy to use system. Thanks to the
    pre-set templates, you need just a few clicks to
    deploy a workable website and by connecting
    multiple plug-ins required, we will get is a
    full-fledged CMS. In addition, the user is not
    required to know HTML to work with site. It is an
    ideal platform for beginners.
  • Since version 3.0 WordPress provides a very
    convenient navigation menus that greatly improve
    the usability of the site. This menu is easily
    configured, allowing better adaptation to the
    specific needs of the site.
  • There are hundreds of free themes that you can
    use on your website. If desired, you can always
    get exclusive themes for an additional fee.
  • WordPress combined with special plug-ins making
    great integration with search engins with SEO. As
    a result, your website has a much better chance
    of getting new visitors through search engines.
  • Currently, there are about 13,000 of free
    plugins available for download. This makes
    WordPress very flexible to satisfy very
    complicated requirements.
  • Disadvantages
  • Unfortunately, not all changes are carried out
    within the site on WordPress so simple. For
    example, if you need to change or remove the date
    of posts, then without some additional knowledge
    it is not possible.
  • Despite the fact that there are many ready-made
    templates for WordPress, some users will want to
    create your own unique patterns, and you cannot
    do this without knowledge of CSS.
  • Versatility WordPress is hidden in the hundreds
    of available plug-ins. However, setting too many
    plug-ins can affect the speed of loading pages.
    Often there are situations when to achieve the
    required functionality you need such a lot number
    of plugins that it will be rational choose a
    different platform.
  • Frequent updates, which can be classified as
    disadvantages and advantages to the system. In
    any case, all updates are intended to improve the
    reliability, security, and usability of the
    system, but makes inconvenience to the site
    administrator.

WordPress (http//codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_Word
Press)
  • Hosting WordPress
  • Most hosting providers and personal installations
    on Unix/Linux systems should be able to host
    WordPress under very common configurations.
  • Server requirements
  • WordPress server requirements for Version 3.2
  • PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
  • MySQL version 5.0.15 or greater
  • (Optional)(Required for MultiSite) Apache mod
    rewrite module (for clean URIs known as
    Permalinks)
  • Recommended setup
  • It is recommended to use a robust platform
    comprised of the Linux operating system, and
    either the Apache web-server or the NGINX
    web-server. Almost any server that supports PHP
    and MySQL will work.
  • It is also essential that the host allows remote
    connections, for many of the WordPress features
    to work. If the host blocks outgoing HTTP
    connections, many parts of the WordPress will not
    function.
  • Hosting providers
  • Hosting can be easy implemented to realize a host
    possibilities that supports the above. For the
    hosting suggestions, please use
  • WordPress Recommended Hosts - these hosts support
    WordPress, in more ways than one.
