Thank you all for the suggestions! We would like to develop the first version of the website described above keeping the option to substantially expand its functionalities later on. That will depend on the success of the service offered (@sshaw: the service will be open to third parties / the public). So platforms like ProcessWire and ExpressionEngine seem to be solid starting points. As anticipated we have good flexibility in terms of budget and are open to discuss a revised quote with developers willing to take a closer look at the requirements. If this project seems a good challenge please be in touch on this forum, via PM or by email

Ryan, thank you for your feedback. We will look more closely at IP.Board and vBulletin, which seem powerful platforms and potentially good starting points. At the same time we would like to retain the flexibility in terms of design and functionality offered by PW and we are open regarding development budget. If any PW developer reading this thread would like to learn more, we are happy to provide details and discuss budget and time frame. @Beluga: we are not planning to include a forum in our website, however will be glad to coordinate efforts if we decide to have one at a later stage. We are also open to release other community building blocks developed for this project as open source

Hey guys We are a small team planning to build a community to offer consulting services. We are looking for a developer to set up the community and like the concept of ProcessWire a lot. The services will be rendered via a teleconferencing back-end already built. The community will be members-only and will include features like member profile pages, calendar, internal e-mail, uploading/downloading document files (e.g., pdf, doc and jpeg), social media integrations, authorisation from social sites and payment system. The back-end should be able to manage a few hundred thousands total users and about 10-20k concurrent users. We are very open to sponsor some of the modules / functionalities that will be developed for this project to be released as open source to the PW community. Design/branding/logo will be taken care of separately by web designers, who will provide templates (e.g., in Adobe Illustrator) for the main pages. If you are interested, we have a more comprehensive RfP ready, including wireframes. A customary NDA is required and we would like to start the development asap and go live 6 to 8 weeks afterwards. We expect the budget to be close to $10,000 for the development only. Please contact us if you are interested in working on this project and also with any questions at: consulting.emea@gmail.com Thanks in advance, Bogdan&Andrea
