Yahoo/mahalo Answers Clone
Looking to create a site similar to Yahoo Answers, and would ideally like to use Drupal so that I can extend the functionality down the road. Not a requirement, but would be great.
This quote is for the initial design and functionality:
- Ability to log in and post and answer questions
- Homepage listing of recent questions and answers
- Ability for users to accrue points for posting and answering questions
I really do love the way Yahoo Answers is laid out – including the ability to mouseover a user’s name and see what how many questions they’ve answered and how many of their answers have been chosen.
Down the road, I’d also like to add the ability to qualify users who answer questions by what type of questions they’re good at answering, and also add the ability to post news stories and Digg up/down. Also initially I don’t need any e-mail integration, but down the road I’d like to use e-mail for verification and updating people on whether or not anyone answered their question.
The site will focus primarily on the small business market, with the initial categories basically lifted from the existing Answers categories.
