I'm working on scoping out a project for a new client. The site will be a young women's community portal with core features of blogging, journaling, user management, and static pages.

I've seen wordpress integrated into XOOPS, but only for the site admin or a single user.

Has anyone stood up a site where you might have a large quantity of users who all come to the site to create their own blog or create their own journal? The concept is kind of like blogger.com except focused at a particular community of users.

Also, I can anticipate registered users of > 100,000. Any thoughts relative to best practices on scaling so that the site doesn't shut down from excessive load? Is there any reason, with proper planning, that XOOPS couldn't handle a project like this?

Thanks for the input.

Cheers,

"create their own blog or create their own journal"
-- should the bloggers have their own categories?

As for XOOPS scalability, there are many factors.
Just as a "showcase" for member count, http://bbs.huash.com has already got more than 100,000 registered members.

Each member would have the ability to create and post to their own blog and journal. I would think that categories would also be part of the equation.
