[Openhive-discuss] civicspace install/first look

[cliff w. <cl...@ea...>]

- the install is super slick, however the database instance must be
	pre-created - it allows you to specify a table prefix to avoid naming collisions,
	if you are adding to an existing db

- The install has some pre-built profiles, including a 'political action' one, which
	is extended from 'DeanSpace' (??)

- 'political action' options:
	I would like a members directory page that is only visible to users who are logged in.
	I would like a calendar function for posting our events.
	I would like for members to be able to communicate privately via an internal site messaging system.
	I would like to create polls on the site where registered members can vote 

- user registration options
	 I would like for registration to be open to everyone.
	I would like for administrators to moderate all account registration.
	I would like to keep site registration closed. Only administrators can create new accounts. 

- has kewl theme choices.
	
- huge list of modules to enable functions..I'll try to run the volunteer one in a bit,
	tonite I have to do some other stuff

( Got called for a gig with Obo Addy, must learn some tunes :)
