You can use your arrow keys too, ← ↑ ↓ → for finer detail

Looking at the current setup, this is what I surmised

↓

List of current features:

  • Sign-up/Members list
  • Photo Albums
  • Discussion board
  • Mailing list
  • Polls
  • Calendar with Meetup.com dates
  • Many comments and questions
  • All-in-all an ongoing discussion

Since the project could take a number of different turns at present, it is best to work on iterations. For instance, the very first thing we need to build is a platform that allows the continued flow of dialogue that is in Meetup.com In other words, lets build a shell around Meetup.com with the obvious need to extend pass that a little on. →

First we need to get to ground zero, the point where our innovations can come to the fore

→

What is key?

↓

The user log's in. Technically we are going to use oAuth to authorize a user, either ourselves or through a social network site

Next meet-up Who, where, when, what and how of the community. If something is going to happen, the user should know about it.

The wall Open forum of discussion. For each section, whether it is a page, a meet-up or a possible topic There will be a comment stream to allow user input

Framework

↓

WordPress Why?... It has an enormous amount of support... with plug-ins, themes and available developers. If I were to do this for myself, I wouldn't use WordPress ...it isn't as fun (or easily testable ) as rails or a SPA app But let's not waste innovation in the code, let's have better 'user' ideas!

Users They don't like signing up. I don't like signing up. The initial iteration will focus on Meetup.com's users This way we can make use of their API

Pages, posts and Meetups At it's heart WordPress is a blogging platform The structure will revolve around Post-like items with comments This will include injected content from Meetup.com
