Site Profile
Description: The goals behind Big-Issues.Org are to:
1. Encourage people (anonymous if they like) to share their issues, both large and small
2. Encourage perspective (while having some fun) by allowing people to rate the issues
3. Facilitate constructive discussion and resolution of these issues
4. Provide an easy reference to relevant groups and information sources where they already exist
5. Provide a good networking site for those who share the same interests (or is that issues)Case Study: Big-Issues.Org is a collaborative information community seeking to facilitate intelligent articulation and debate of issues, leading to practical resolution steps. The site was built using the JomSocial extension in conjunction with Joomla! to provide support for a widely dispersed sense of content ownership. Users can propose issues, comment on and rate issues raised by others, and set up discussion groups for debate and activist support. JomSocial provided the social networking features in a seamless integration with the basic content management features of Joomla!.
