We'll need a website that will serve as a PR hub, and we can also have cool member features, like web space and shells. Here are some initial thoughts:

  • Calendar
  • Member profiles, skills/interests
  • Ongoing projects
  • Message board, mailing list archives
  • Photo gallery (or link to flickr group)
  • Twitter (retweets member tweets, #roc-hack hashtags etc.
  • Link to youtube, embedded youtubes
  • Member blogs
  • Anything else?

Meetup, as good of a recruitment tool as it is, costs a fair amount of money to maintain, and isn't very featureful.

I'm a bit of a web nut but I suck at design, so I'd love to work with someone on getting this going who knows anything about design. (wooby)

I'd like to work on the server setup if we are going to self-host it (once we get a space). I also wouldn't mind working a bit on the site itself. ---- BW 18:23, 15 November 2009 (UTC)


Wed Idea

I had a concept i had for the Rochester Hackerspace that I would like to share.

  • It would be good to have a website that is project based, that encourages collaboration
  • The idea is each member will have a project page dedicated to them.
    • If you click on a members name you would be able to see all projects that the person has lead, all projects that the person had collaborated on and also projects that the person wants to do but simply doesn't have time for.
    • People looking at the site could browse/search by project.
      • Each project should give you basic info about how the progress made on the project, the person who is leading the project as well as people collaborating on the project.
      • People should be able to find projects that are still in the idea phase, and if the idea inspires them then they should be able to work on it.
    • Each project should have a message board where members can share ideas and give input on each project. This would help keep all Hackers aware of all projects in progress.

Possible Web Frameworks

We can probably also just look at pairing together various systems, with a custom frontend, so we have something that works well for us specifically
