Goal of the social media information aggregation platform
This is an important topic to get a good-enough description of so we know what to build - and so we can see if we have enough volunteers to do it.
This is a participatory document, please add your constructive thoughts!
To create a forum / blog aggregator / message board for use internally. Ideally this should like something like reddit / hackernews / lobsters / lemmy. There are several solutions out there to choose from.
- Lemmy (see https://linux.community)
- lobste.rs (see https://lobste.rs).
- Discourse (see https://discourse.sustainoss.org/)
Requirements:
- Upvotes and downvotes
- Scoped forums comprised of post+threads
- LDAP authentication to the ASF
- Export conversations / keep historical record
- Self-hosted and FOSS
- ADA compliant
- Not in a "niche" language
- Cross platform shareabililty / public & private threads.
Services/Volunteers Needed
- Service Administrator
- initially we'll need some moderators perhaps?
- Volunteer Projects (ie, TLPs to participate in a pilot)
- People proficient in $language to do small customizations
