This idea had been bouncing around in my head for quite some time. To create a platform for parallel governments online but NOT for a fictitious world but for the real world. So that YOU could be the igov Senator from New York, or President, or "replace" an oppressive dictator and advocate and speak for the people.
Drupal 6.x was my weapon of choice because you can go from simple to complex and pretty much meet and short to near-term functionality and performance demands with existing modules.
Modules:
Admin Menu
CCK (+filefield, etc.)
Facebook Connect (still testing that)
Flag Module
Image Modules (imagecache, et al.)
AddThis
Nice Menus
Maxlength
pathauto + token(of course)
Twitter
User Registration Notification
Rules
Captcha
Views
I do plan to add some others (user points and such) but as needed.
Theme:
I went with a fairly unconventional choice, "Beginning Web 2.0."
It is not flashy in the least but I wanted something basic that would also work and load pretty fast in a mobile browser. It also so auto collapses from 3 to 2 columns which is good too.
Feedback would be great and if you want to run for office let me know :)
