Comment to 'UNA vs. socialengine'
  • Simple is always best. True, UNA is simple for the most part, by it's design. But perhaps there is room in UNA for even some further simplification.

    Take Messenger for example. Some would wonder what the difference was between it and JOT Messenger. When you go to Messenger - you see the word TALKS in large letters. Elsewhere in UNA there are CONVERSATIONS. Not to be confused with DISCUSSIONS or FORUM.

    Most users want only one name for one thing. 

    • I cannot find anything really new on UNA - but it looks like it is send back with a time machine in the years before google & facebook. No SEO, No WYSIWYG
      I f could get the module i need for social engine, i would not even thing a minute about using it. Una is not for cms end user - more like a point & click adventure.
      Just one expample: When i get a response to a diskussion thread - it will see the answer but not the whole thread and if the answer is an answer of an answer the thread subject changes and thats confusing.
      What a CMS needs is a customer friendly design and functions. UNA is for specialist and enthusiasts.
      I remember long time ago dolphin was a "install & run" game
      And i decided to use dolphin with the lot of modules out there, so i do not have to run UNA as CMS and wordpress embedded for SEO purposes.
      Maybe in 2-3 years with UNA 27 we will have the best solution
      Or we will get Dolphin 8.0.0 :-D
