Ten leading platforms for online communities
вЂў
source, based on PHP, and a fork of the Mambo project,
Joomla is one of the most widely used content management systems
and community platforms. It includes the usual page posting,
discussion, blogs, polls, etc. Joomla has an extensive community of
its own and the number of 3rd party plug-ins is very extensive, with
over 3,700 currently listed, making it one of the richest community
ecosystems in existence.
вЂў
2. Drupal is one of the darlings of the community world and would
come first on this list for many in the community business. It's a
highly capable, mature, and extremely popular community platform
that includes the usual features as well as a workflow subsystem,
support for OpenID, granular user security, and much more. Drupal is
developed in PHP, is open source, and has several thousand 3rd
party modules available for it as well.
вЂў
3. One of the older CMS/community platforms, PHP-Nuke doesn't
have the flair of the first two on this list but is still one of the most
widely used community applications available. PHP-Nuke is
eponymously named after the language it uses, is open source, and
have several hundred add-ons available for it. Despite being one of
the older and more traditional community platforms, PHP-Nuke
continues to grow marketshare rapidly.

4. The platform formerly known as PostNuke is now called Zikula and is a fork of
PHP-Nuke 5.0. Rounding out the top four, Zikula is one of the older, more
established offerings. It is also open source and developed in PHP.
5. Microsoft's Sharepoint is the first commercial product to make the list and is also
one of the most mature and popular. Though Sharepoint can be used to develop
collaborative environments that have few community features, the most recent
emphasis and the majority of uses I encounter are for community-style
deployments. With the advent of the Community Kit for Sharepoint which adds
"best practices, templates, Web Parts, tools, and source code", the product is now
a capable contender in this space. Sharepoint has very extensive enterprise
penetration and will be on the short list for many organizations given that they
often already own it, though the warning above about "technology first" should
apply.
вЂў
6. The first SaaS community platform to make the list is Lithium, an innovative and
fast-growing solution for customer communities that is seeing broad uptake
according to my metrics. One of the advantages of Lithium is the extensive support
around community developers and managers that it provides. One of the
disadvantages is that it does not have an open source ecosystem so the the
amount of extensions and plug-ins available for Lithium is limited to standard Web
widgets.
вЂў
7. The second .NET plaform (after Sharepoint) and the first open source .NET
community platform on this list, the capable DotNetNuke has been going through
extensive maturation over the last year. Written in VB .NET, DotNetNuke has an
extensive set of 3rd party modules through its Marketplace service, which enables
for-pay modules to be developed and sold, resulting in some high-quality offerings.

Ten leading platforms for online communities (table continued)
вЂў
8. One of the few .NET blog platforms has evolved into a full-blown
community product. Community Server is now aimed squarely at the
enterprise and has been used in very large scale, for example, it is
currently used to operate MySpace's customer forums for over 70 million
users.
вЂў
9. KickApps is a relatively new up-and-comer that is getting wide
distribution in a relatively short time period including major wins with
large public Web sites for ABC and the BBC. KickApps is a SaaS-based
solution like Lithium that is extensively widgetized for maximum
integration flexibility into existing Web sites.
вЂў
10. ClearSpace Community from Jive Software has been getting a lot of
attention lately, particularly with its popularity in the enterprise space.
Over 15% of the Fortune 500 currently use it and while it's highly likely
that the open source products at the top of this list have higher
penetration, Jive has consistently focused strengths in areas where open
source products tend to be weaker, particularly on enterprise issues
around security, integration, and customizability.
Cultur-exp project, Tbilisi 2013
Leading platforms for online communities (continued)
We can see how the technologies and platforms
shaped up in terms of open source and commercial
software as well as software packages vs SaaS.
We're seeing a healthy mixture of options available
for just about any requirements, though the open
source options tend to be richer because of their
extensible nature and the large number of
contributors building plug-ins and add-ons.
вЂў A number of interesting offerings didn't make this
top 10 cut and so we thought it would also be
worthwhile to be aware about the next 15 candidates
since we are likely to see them more often in the
near future. They made the list due to overall
popularity, innovative features, early groundswell, or
a combination thereof:
Cultur-exp project, Tbilisi 2013
Leading platforms for online communities (continued)
11. Mambo - Popular, old school PHP community-platform.
12. Lotus SameTime and Lotus Connections - IBM's answers to community
with many integrated capabilities.
13. OneSite - White label, on-demand social network and community.
14. BoonEx - SaaS community that is extensively widget-based with many

15. Crowdvine - Used to power the community for the popular Web 2.0 Expo
conferences, Crowdvine has full community, content management, and
external site integration.
16. Facebook Open Platform - Use the Facebook platform for your community
with the open source version of the platform.
17. Mzinga - A solution designed for industry verticals such as HR and
marketing, Mzinga is seeing strong uptake.
18. Leverage Software
19. HiveLive
20. SocialGo - On-demand SaaS community service.
21. IglooSoftware - A relatively new entry, Igloo is focusing on the enterprise
user with ease-of-use and simplicity as a top feature.
22. GroupSwim
23. SocialCast
24. Tomoye
25. Pinax - Brand new and feature rich. Pinax is getting considerable early
adopter interest. Based on Python, Pinax is open source.

WordPress (http://wordpress.org/showcase)
Today WordPress is the most popular platform. This is an open-source
software distributed under the GNU GPL. WordPress provides a lot of
features that allow the developer to quickly and easily manage the
contents of the site. These include: simple installation, and publication
through third-party programs and services, support for Atom, RSS,
pingback, trackback; ability to connect additional plug-ins, a huge
selection of many excellent audio/video plug-ins, a huge number of
topics on various subjects to quickly change the UI, built-in capabilities
to support the sites in multiple languages, and many others.
In addition, WordPress includes features such as comments,
trackbacks, blogger profiles and pinging services, making it easy to
use for the analysis of traffic and control the operation of the site.
On the other hand, WordPress is not a В«developer-friendlyВ» system. In
addition, certain plugins and WordPress updates have more bugs than
fixes and may compromise your computer. It is therefore necessary to
check the updates for the presence of viruses and read reviews when
upgrading or installing WordPress plugins. Overall, WordPress is an
effective system for any beginner or an experienced user, which makes
it a very versatile CMS.
Cultur-exp project, Tbilisi 2013
WordPress (http://wordpress.org/showcase)
Advantages:
вЂў WordPress is not just received a reputation for being extremely easy to use system. Thanks to the preset templates, you need just a few clicks to deploy a workable website and by connecting multiple plugins required, we will get is a full-fledged CMS. In addition, the user is not required to know HTML to
work with site. It is an ideal platform for beginners.
вЂў Since version 3.0 WordPress provides a very convenient navigation menus that greatly improve the
usability of the site. This menu is easily configured, allowing better adaptation to the specific needs of
the site.
вЂў There are hundreds of free themes that you can use on your website. If desired, you can always get
exclusive themes for an additional fee.
вЂў WordPress combined with special plug-ins making great integration with search engins with SEO. As a
result, your website has a much better chance of getting new visitors through search engines.
вЂў Currently, there are about 13,000 of free plugins available for download. This makes WordPress very
flexible to satisfy very complicated requirements.
Disadvantages:
вЂў Unfortunately, not all changes are carried out within the site on WordPress so simple. For example, if
you need to change or remove the date of posts, then without some additional knowledge it is not
possible.
вЂў Despite the fact that there are many ready-made templates for WordPress, some users will want to
create your own unique patterns, and you cannot do this without knowledge of CSS.
вЂў Versatility WordPress is hidden in the hundreds of available plug-ins. However, setting too many plugins can affect the speed of loading pages. Often there are situations when to achieve the required
functionality you need such a lot number of plugins that it will be rational choose a different platform.
вЂў Frequent updates, which can be classified as disadvantages and advantages to the system. In any
case, all updates are intended to improve the reliability, security, and usability of the system, but
makes inconvenience to the site administrator.
Cultur-exp project, Tbilisi 2013
WordPress (http://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress)
Hosting WordPress
вЂў Most hosting providers and personal installations on Unix/Linux systems should
be able to host WordPress under very common configurations.
Server requirements
вЂў WordPress server requirements for Version 3.2:
вЂ“ PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
вЂ“ MySQL version 5.0.15 or greater
вЂ“ (Optional)(Required for MultiSite) Apache mod rewrite module (for clean URIs known
as Permalinks)
Recommended setup
вЂў It is recommended to use a robust platform comprised of the Linux operating
system, and either the Apache web-server or the NGINX web-server. Almost
any server that supports PHP and MySQL will work.
вЂў It is also essential that the host allows remote connections, for many of the
WordPress features to work. If the host blocks outgoing HTTP connections,
many parts of the WordPress will not function.
Hosting providers
вЂў Hosting can be easy implemented to realize a host possibilities that supports the
above. For the hosting suggestions, please use:
вЂў WordPress Recommended Hosts - these hosts support WordPress, in more
ways than one.
вЂў Searching the WordPress support forums for recommendations
вЂў Requirements: PHP 5.2.4 or higher, MySQL 5.0 or higher, Apache or nginx
recommended.
Cultur-exp project, Tbilisi 2013
Conclusions
Taking in account results of comparative analysis,
recommendations of independent experts and (that is
important from practical point of view) existing experience in
similar systems implementation and hosting we propose
the following platforms for future development and
deployment:
п‚§ WordPress - http://wordpress.org/
п‚§ DSpace - http://www.dspace.org/
п‚§ Fedora Commons http://www.fedora.info/
The proposed list is open for other recommendations /
findings. Practical realization of the cultur-exp platform
can require to make necessary adaptation and
combination of the proposed software systems and
solutions.
