[Kzyxtalk] Seven Questions:

[BC]

I suspect that this question is really key in all our community 
process.  I've been fiddling with the technique of discovering 
"community accord" for about 5 years and am still searching for a basic 
platform - a forum program with really clean "voting" that facilitates 
that joyous discovery of unity.
I'm still looking though there are commercial products used to run 
businesses.  They are far too structured for me to investigate further 
at this time.  I do understand that Drupal has sapps thaat could be 
assembled into such a system.  Any Drupal folks out there who know how 
to mix it up on-line?
One alternate to that could be a dBase application but I've been dB**ase 
lazy for 15 years.
Is this worth writing a specification for?  It really would be 
invaluable in managing any community enterprise.
