We need a full-featured dating system. It should be similar to [login to view URL] or [login to view URL], handling men, women, and couples. It must be modular in construction, like phpNuke (based on phpNuke or the like is fine). It must be fully CSS compliant, so we can easily modify appearance and layout. Besides all of the [login to view URL] type features, like messaging, pictures (multi-tiered option based on membership level would be nice), multiple membership levels, who's online, and friends, it must include:
- events, where a member can add himself to an event for others to see,
- short notices, where a member can post an announcement for short term display (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week), such as "I'm going to be at Club XYZ tonight wearing a red rose, bring a rose and ask me to dance."
- area resources, where brick and mortar places can be listed for a region, i.e. nightclubs for New Orleans.
- payment management, API to [login to view URL] paypal? not sure, but should have hooks to connect to.
We must be able to easily take the software and add future modules or edit those in this version. OTS pieces can be used as long as there are no licensing issues, e.g. GPL works, and they integrate with the whole, i.e. the creation of an account includes the person in phpBB (if phpBB is used).
