I’m involved in several professional forums in the digital health arena. Most are at least semi-closed, but here is one active public example:
I have found that the whole online forum concept is quite foreign to those who aren’t super IT savvy, and it takes a lot of work to move them past the social media and chat paradigms that they are much more familiar with.
Well Jay, I’m doing that with a couple of sites already.
Basically, they utilise a combo of:
- Subscriptions plugin
- Custom Wizard plugin
- Calendar plugin
- Jitsi Theme Component (with some extras)
- Shared Edits (for live ‘minutes’)
Some targeted improvements of these (especially of Subscriptions and Calendar) would go a long way to making this combo fly nicely. Does this deserve its own topic? Cc @pacharanero
