MCS:Site

Overview

Mozilla Community Website is a set of webtools that should help setting up a new website.

The components are prepared in Logo style - you can choose any set of components and combine it with any other set of components. For example, you may use forum system according to MCS, but use your own wiki.

MCS should deliver full experience by using MCS Installer, but allow users to compose component on their own.

Basic components are:

• CMS - main website system with news, accounts, articles, sections etc.
  • Wordpress
  • Drupal
• Forum
  • phpBB
  • punBB
• MediaWiki
• PlanetPlanet

Additionally, the website should offer unified look across the tools thanks to Mozilla Community Theme and several features like Single Sign On and OpenID support.

On top of that MCS will provide set of extensions that will allow to customize the website according to usual needs of communities (forum Search-for-duplicates-before-send extension) and blending community website with Mozilla websites (SUMO box, MDC box etc).

Use of each of the component will be optional and community website maintainer will choose which one to enable depending on the target, scale and resources available in the community.
