My classmate called a small meeting attended by programmers to announce a project that he and the student body planned to launch before our graduation. He told us that the student body is planning to build a social networking site exclusively used for students and teachers. The main purpose for this website is for students and teachers to have dynamic collaboration and sharing within the campus and take advantage of features such as file sharing, chat, newsletters, event and information dissemination, blogging, and email. To see if it was feasible, they asked me to lead the investigation of the project and to report to our team lead for the project who is a senior on class who has tried to develop web projects even as a student. I was also asked to do an initial design as well as look into what is the best CMS or Content Management System that will be used for the project. As I searched for a solution for our project, I stumbled into Social Network Software that costs one thousand US dollars. Five gigabyte of annual hosting, setup and installation, 12-month technical support, and custom homepage design. These features will dramatically cut our coding time since all we need to do is install it on the LAMP or Linux, Apache, MySql, and PHP server and we can already start implementation. I tried convincing the student body to purchase the software but I was turned down because of problems with the budget so I went out looking for alternative software. After finding them, I will try them first so that I can make good recommendation to the student body.
