These were the original ideas for a fertility related research network:
Plan
Divide up ideas into components
Build concept scaffolding / framework - identify existing code, and customize to resemble the goal of the research network
At this point, a project management package would be the closest package. We should try to set one up and see how it performs.
Install active collab, mediawiki, and wordpress for a domain.
Initial Concept Components
- BASIC: Member administration, profiles, discussion groups, etc.
- COMPLEX: Project Management - what is a research project? Hypothesis, data collection, data analysis.
- COMPLEX: Social networking, web of trust, etc.
