[KS] info sharing list of methods

[Frank Hoffmann]

Thank you Dr. Witteveen.
The availability of installable scripts is not any problem.

The 320 scripts listed below (many among them for message boards, 
forums, micro blogs, RSS, video or music posting sites, document 
sharing and Wiki sites) all install in 30 seconds and take between 20 
minutes and an hour to configure for any particular use.

… and a few thousand more that take just a little longer to install 
are listed here, by scripting language and category:
http://www.hotscripts.com/

The question I am still trying to get to is, which tool makes sense to 
set up, that allows for fast, uncomplicated postings and replies (while 
avoiding being spammed) for all the SMALL issues that people won't want 
to post to the list (as an ADD-ON to the KS List, not directly related 
to it). Again, I believe that a forum-style software will not work for 
a small community, as people won't go there unless they "need" 
something themselves. There are many Facebook clones out there, and 
those would allow to do the same without being robbed of your 
professional and personal data, yet, to me these scripts seem like a 
"total overkill." 
For example:
http://www.clonescripts.com/facebook-clone-script/
http://www.hotscripts.com/search/all-scripts/facebook+clone

Any examples of working solutions in other fields? -- if other fields 
see the need for something like this?


Best regards,
Frank
