I am looking for particular features for a writing/music review community and wonder what CMS would be the most user friendly to implement the following features.
Members need to be able to upload pieces of writing or pieces/ word docs/ pdf and audio files to their own accounts in order for the community to review it. Then members need to be able to make comments which include the feature of uploading writing pieces/ word docs/ pdf and audio files. Finally amazon has the " was this review helpful to you? " feature directly under each review. Members of the writing community should be able to email a "rate my review" feature so the review can be emailed and rated by other people.
What Drupal sites have implemented similar features? What components/modules would be helpful for this?
Thx in advance
Comments
Drupal would work for this.
Drupal would work for this.
Uploading articles would be easy "out-of-the-box" with the story module. You can convert documents online to pdf using the Pdfview module.
Copying / uploading from Word docs can be made real easy for users with the TinyMCE module (absolutely brilliant piece of work by richardb).
Audio files can be uploaded by using the audio module.
Comments are easily added by the community with the "out-of-the-box" comments module and you have a whole variety of ways of rating / reviewing and voting for content including:
Node Moderation
NodeVote
SimpleVote (needs VotingAPI)
Voting
You might also want to consider messing about with / hashing the following modules:
Book Review
Movie Review
Review
Hope that helps.

Drupal would work for this.
Thanks thats exactly what I was looking for!
Does PDFview, TinyMCE and the audio modules work with the comment box? Is it possible to upload PDF, word docs and audio files from the comment box?
With TinyMCE, it is easy to
With TinyMCE, it is easy to determine which textarea fields the editor appears in. Take a look here:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/tinymce/INSTA...
and read the section titled TWEAKING THE TINYMCE THEME (about 3/4 of the way down the page).
With regards to audio and PDFview modules, I cannot say for sure because I don't use either of them. The best place to ask about these is in the issue pages (log a support request for PDFview / audio).
Upload: collaborate with files
Thanks again!
I wonder if anyone knows if the Upload feature in 4.7 http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/upload.
Can upload audio content as an attachment to a comment?
