View Full Version : Building something like the Ubuntu.com website

Hi, does anybody know what software the ubuntu.com website uses?
I have a project that could use a similar design to that one, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I can avoid it.
The project was actually inspired on how knowledge is created (or found) in the ubuntu community.
Somebody has a problem and posts in the forums
People brainstorm ideas, the original poster tries those ideas and eventually find a solution (or not, but it's documented that at some point in time, a group of people tried and couldn't find a solution to X)
Whatever the outcome, if there's enough interest, somebody will post the information in the wiki
Another person runs into the same problem, googles, finds the wiki and the information on what to do (or that there's no solution and he might try a different approach or give up, in any case, he would save some time).
Profit!
My project is very similar, but instead of only Ubuntu-related problems, the problems discussed would be about everyday stuff. Like, How do I get rid of an ant invasion at home? or What can I do with my organic waste? or What can I feed my cat instead of processed food?
And the process would be the same. Post a question in the forums, gather knowledge from people around the world, find one or several "best anwsers", and post them to the wiki. That's it.
Since this was inspired by the Ubuntu community, I suppose a website layout similar to the Ubuntu main page would be good: A main page explaining what the thing's about, and linking to the forum and the wiki. Hence the question, what software does the Ubuntu web site use?
I have tried TikiWiki, and I don't really like it. I think the design isn't very easy to understand. The menus are a mess, and the result is downright ugly. Is there any other software that can keep Tiki's promise of being a CMS complete with wiki and forums.
I don't have a problem in using different software for the web page, the forums and the wiki, but I'd like to know if there's a combination already proven to be easy to integrate and administer.
What I'm considering right now is:
-Joomla
-Some lightweight wiki (is MediaWiki too heavy?)
-PhpBB
So, ok, those were like many questions, but still, can anybody spare some advice?

I alway's thought Ubuntu.com was made with Drupal. So why don't you give a try?

ubuntu.com is not the same as launchpad and the forums
it is 3 different things.
and launchpad is owned by canonical so no open source

Yes, I know ubuntuforums is a different thing, and that the software is closed source. I was thinking that phpBB has all the functionality I need, so that's covered, unless somebody has a better suggestion.
I don't have a need for something like launchpad (that I can see), so that's no problem actually.
I'll check Drupal, and see if I like it better than Joomla for what I want to do. I'm still open to suggestions, though. I want to listen to what people recommend. Thanks.

Great! I will look into MoinMoin. The first time I heard about that one was a few years ago, but at the time I was young and stupid and thought that MediaWiki was the only wiki software worth looking. If I had been a bit wiser, my project would probably be running by now.
Thanks RAV TUX, that really looks like what I have in mind.

The forums are vBulletin, and the website is Drupal. Drupal is also used by Lifetime TV and a bunch of other pretty noteworthy companies. I use it for many of my clients' sites, and am currently completing an e-commerce site on this platform. The funny thing about Drupal is that, unless you can get at Ubuntu.com's themes, module setup, customizations, etc. you'll have to in a way re-invent the wheel. Drupal is very flexible which is a strength and a weakness: It's as good as you can make it (within the limits of PHP, etc.).

I dont have a need for running a web server or website.........but it is very interesting to see what other sites are using to run there enterprise.
The power of open source software is very impressive.
I find it mind boggling that you can run a large enterprise site with Free software.
That is precisely why I think open source software will eventually overtake Microsoft and Apple.
Anything that is superior and free will win over a inferior costly product.

Thanks all for your help.
Plone looks really interesting, but running it is a bit cost-prohibitive for me. I'll check Drupal and see how I like it. The integration with the wiki and the forum software might be a bit difficult for me, because I don't know a lot about those esotheric things (like the ability to have users register once and use the same account for the wiki, the forums and Drupal).
But I disgress, thanks again for your suggestions. I hope I can get this to work. Now, off to work!
