Hello everybody!
I am very glad to see that –finally- an Automotive XOOPS based portal is on the way and I welcome Script_fu’s and Northern’s initiatives on this.
Also, I am very pleased from Script_fu’s idea to have a XOOPS Automotive working place at:
http://www.xgarage.org. I guess that Script_fu is welcoming all AutoXoopsters there.
Taking this opportunity, I’d like to propose the following:
xgarage.org site organization:
Links: There must be a links management module for all useful automotive related links, categorized by their subject.
Downloads: There must be a downloads module too, for all useful archives may need, categorized by their subject.
Forums: Exist. They should be organized by subject (they are already) and also by working project/team.
Modules/Themes: There should be installed various modules/themes for evaluation under the prism of automotive use. Tested/selected modules/themes can be saved at downloads.
Project organization:
In order to be able to select modules and functions, we have to define the various automotive applications that an automotive site can have.
I have already proposed the following and I’d like to invite people to organize teams to work on:
1. “X Fun Club style Automotive” site
2. General “Automotive E-Commerce” style site
3. “Automotive Dealer” style site
4. “New and/or Used Vehicles Sales” style site
5. “New and/or Used AutoParts Sales” style site
6. “Automotive Sports” style site
7. “Automotive ideas and/or experience Exchange” style site
8. “Automotive News” style site
9. “General Automotive related Subjects” (safety, technology, education…) style site
…
Combinations of the above
We also could set up a poll to be able to discover the people’s needs!
Feel free to join (and support!)
