- [Groups] Users can create theyre own groups who people can join.
the groups also includes "Forums" "Blogs" "News" "Administration Panel for Group Admin".
The problem (and advantage at the same time) with eZ Publish is that it is generic to extremes. You need to make much effort to achieve some functionalities if you want to incorporate eZ's content model (nodes, objects, relations, access, workflows, datatypes etc...).
Some extensions are (almost) completely independent (like PM), but in most cases you DO want to make use of content model because otherwise it would be using eZ Publish merely as an application framework (and then it may not be the best choice available). So I would see the groups functionality, as I have recently described it:
http://ez.no/developer/forum/developer/user_groups_as_in_community_features_not_rbac No good solution out there yet, I believe. it would be great to have a extension (eZ Community) with all social-related functionality bundled within it
Especially because some of those functionalities should be interconnected! A series of single contributions has its weakness - no one body seeing it as one project. Hi, how are we going with the "wanted" extensions?
I don't think it's moved on since then... ;(
