Drupal Commons liberates you and your community from the tyranny of costly proprietary social software. A ready-to-use solution for building either internal or external communities, Drupal Commons takes the guesswork out of building a Drupal-based community site by providing:
* Freedom of assembly, giving your community members easy, familiar ways to connect with one another, and participate in your community;
* Freedom from technology limits, liberating you to extend and adapt your social community site any way you need to your or your communities needs;
* Freedom from software license costs, sparing you from spending half of your community building budget on expensive proprietary software license fees.
Come ask questions, tell us what you'd like Commons to do for you, and meet other Drupal Commons users.
Community products usable out
Community products usable out of the box : How is Drupal able to "compete"?
BrainStorming session Monday 3:00 to 4:00 pm Copenhagen time, Register at http://groups.drupal.org/node/88459)
Drupal has now at least two community products usable out of the box. http://commons.acquia.com & http://openatrium.com
+ facebook like feature http://sndemo.dev3.webenabled.net/node/1
There is a need to see how those projects compare and are able to "compete" with non-Drupal products.
The output of this brainstorming session could be a list of features based on a competition analysis focused on the most successful of each targeted audience :
-With enterprises in mind we could focus on http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/ & in SaaS mode http://www.jivesoftware.com
-With a general audience in mind http://buddypress.org or in SaaS mode http://ning.com.
That way we may be able to coordinate our efforts and see what our weaknesses and strengths are.
