<p>Buddypress is a pretty mature open source social network plugin for Wordpress developed by the group behind Wordpress. With the help of a few additional off the shelf plugins it will do everything Ning does and more. I've been getting quite familiar with its workings recently because I'm using it as the base for something I'm working on at work.</p>

<p>Have a quick peek at the feature list on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://buddypress.org/">http://buddypress.org/</a> - I'd be happy to set it up for us, and from there, whoever wants to be an admin can change the content, settings, moderate etc without any web experience just like ning. I can't spend hours writing a completely new theme or custom plugins for it, but there's no need, everything we would need is already written. :-)</p>

<p>Just a thought.

<p>It needs to be a platform (is that the right word) like this, that is very much self contained, will do everything we want and will not take up too much of any one persons time once set up.</p>
<p>I run a Ning site the same as this, for a group of Friday night drinking buddies, but am not good enough with this sort of stuff to do anything more involved, I get to the point where I am giving flying lessons to the laptop !!!</p>

<p>To be honest I can do basic HTML, flash, shockwave, fireworks etc but I don't have the time to do a rebuild on the website and then maintain it.</p>
<p>We are taking steps to do something though as agreed at the AGM, it needs addressing.</p>

<p>Lets see what Tim thinks on the subject, and see if he is prepared to find out the cost of the full version. But it would also need someone to take the time to have a good look at it, to see if it would do what we want.</p>

<p>At the Moment Paul this site is funded by Tim Walker. I am sure it would be worth the investment. as when the site first started it had more features e.g. Events, live chat etc. Plus 10 more members and this version is full you can only have 150 members.</p>
<p>Got to be a good topic of discussion</p>
