I need a little help. I want to built a user interactive site that allows members to upload videos, comments etc.
Which open source platform should I use that will allow greatest flexibility and growth? I am a strong PHP coder, but haven't used many of the platforms out there.
Also any mods/or apps that might come in handy?
It would be nice if users could have their own page and user content was aggregated on the home page. I would like to host my own videos instead of using youtube... have heard about zencoder for the videos... but still not sure what's the next best step.
Any help would be appreciated.
Look into Buddypress for Wordpress. Another one you can try is Drupal Commons. Both of these do a lot of the work for you so you can spend more time customizing instead of coding the functionality. My personal favorite is Wordpress for this kind of stuff
