The goal is to allow the customization of a new tiki site in a few clicks into a full site which supports local barter markets, including community currency features, which can be further customized as each community wants to be also their main website (Extranet and Intranet with wiki pages, forums, calendars, newsletters, blogs, file galleries, spreadsheets. freetags, fine grained permission system, integrated search respecting access permissions, ...). An early prototype for such a system can be found in http://c2c.ourproject.org/tiki which mimics and aims to extend http://intercanvis.net among other sites.

See the development page for the whole project behind this profile: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/cc

1. Implementation

minimal fields required for a database of offerings, a database of wants, and another want of people, which can be linked through users.
a few modules added, including a wiki page menu
just one column (right, for instance)

1.1. Future improvements

Fix offerings page, which complains about missing parameters (from the offeringlist template page, probably) (Xavi: help needed)
Fix: Instructions page is not loaded after profile is applied (Xavi: help needed)

Use filegals for images (jonny)
Make datachannel for creating new offerings, and make new wiki page for each one (jonny)
Add sample data of offerings and demands (Xavi)
Evaluate the chance to add a google map field for offerings and wants (Xavi)
add (dynamically) list of offerings and wants to user pages (or user profile pages). (Xavi)

Add content to homepage (Xavi):
- articles
- calendar, and upcoming events
- come rss feed from intercanvis.net calendar, articles, offerings and wants
Add some custom logo and specific graphic design (Xavi: help needed)

There will be a group tracker for registered users, collecting some extra information from users (like interests for exchanging things, topics they would like to learn from or teach others about). This group tracker will be shown at registration time (Xavi, and probably, help needed; we'll see).

Notes:
It would be very nice also the chance that the user can click on certain check-boxes at registration time (i.e., fields of the group tracker at registration time) in order to let them monitor from the very beginning some general users forum, or community news blog, community newsletter, calendar, etc. I (Xavi) wonder whether this is (or will soon be) possible through the group watch or alert features or by other means.

In order to use this profile with this set of data below (to populate it properly), you need beforehand to create two users in your tiki site: user1 and user2. This is due to the fact that the profiles system isn't able to create users in tiki (at least, so far by the Feb'09).

Pages used by this profile:
14 pages found for title search 'barter'

Pages used by other somewhat related profiles:
5 pages found for title search 'Kart'

One page found for title search 'exchange'

Hospitality_Exchange
