Gnomepal

We're building an install profile of Drupal that makes deploying a community site easy. Drupal is an empty shell - a great framework for building a site upon, but it's incomplete all by itself. Almost every Drupal site uses a laundry list of third party modules, themes, and custom code to flesh out the site. Using modules and themes that are already available can help us get really close to a community server. We're doing the work to find the gaps and build things to fill them. To develop best practices. To create lists of recommended modules and themes. To write modules or even bridges between modules. All of this will result in an install profile someone can use to get a community site right out of the box.

Wherever you can help, we need you - the community needs you, and your next Web community needs this. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and we're just assembling those parts (with you) to make a more complete community experience for sites the world over.

  • Dogfooding will happen live at http://gnomepal.org/
  • The person (user, member) is at the center of the community experience
  • Tools for that person and his/her groups are added like spokes
  • Developing toward integration with OpenSocial, OAuth, and OpenID

The goal for this project is to give any community an integrated set of tools to further empower their members - to help them extend a single-tool site (a blog, a forum, a wiki) into a richer destination without the need to remember yet another Web address.
