24Ten 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.
25Ten 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.
26Ten 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.
27Leading 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
28Leading platforms for online communities

29WordPress (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.

- 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. -

- 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. - Searching the WordPress support forums for
recommendations - Requirements PHP 5.2.4 or higher, MySQL 5.0 or
higher, Apache or nginx recommended.
