I am working on a social site that will have multiple groups. Each group will have its own forums and calendars. Is this something that can be done in El Dorado?

Really, the app is designed for a small (or at least single) group, so I'm not sure this would fit your use case. You might consider just giving each group a simple message board (group has_many topics, topics have many posts, etc) and a simple calendar (group has_many events). |

Would you be interesting in patches for this type of a setup? I haven't looked at the code too much, but it looks possible. I could create a mother object for each group. By default, there would be just one group. Admins could then create other groups. Each would have their own board associated with it. |

I would be interested in accommodating this kind of setup, but not at the expense of the way things work now (for a single, small group). I'm not totally clear on how you would go about allowing both scenarios to coexist in the core app, but it sounds like you have some ideas. Perhaps you can work in a fork on github to begin with and we can see how things go? |
