Comment to 'Opinionated vs Customisable '
  • I've been thinking that we ultimately need 3 entry levels into UNA suitable for 3 different types of customers, with various levels of business vision, technical know how and budget.  I am comparing it here to the traditional CMS world;
    1. For the Squarespace customer - a highly opinionated solution that they can download and configure with minimal choice and confusion - the Community in a Box Solution.
    2. For the Wordpress Style customer - a semi-opinionated solution that can be configured with together a number of different solutions - for example an Online.Me scenario, which is a starting point to get you started and can ultimately be adapted as your experience and clarity around your communities needs is developed. This system could include integration of a number of pre-configured solutions - perhaps an Online.Me scenario with an Learning Management System built in, or a Project Management Tool with a Help Desk built in.
    3. For the Drupal customer - an enterprise class system, that can include custom modifications and developed into basically anything you can dream of.
