I am trying to make a public CMS system that will be for CEO's (or assigned members) to manage. The idea is that a lot of people don't have web development experience, especially in small corporations. But, they also want to have a central system for managing users and conveying information outside of the game or having some tools that just aren't available in-game; let alone integrating a site with quick access to killboard information or market data.
One such idea is to have a built-in "material" Buyback System where custom prices can be set, or pulled from a specified api, so that you can easily provide a buyback calculator for your members. Or by requiring API keys, you can maybe even check on what users are able to fly by using a page that has simple questions and based on what you want to know about users, you can check what people can fly without having to peruse their skills yourself.
Another idea would be to make a page to show current system information with data on it such as activity and kills. Links that automatically launch comm servers (TS, Vent, Mumble) and quick access to corporate-specific links.
Coupling this with a database to verify users (simply with a password) and using the IGB, there is a lot that can be done.
My thing is, I have not run a corporation so I am not familiar with the needs of corporations. I am also sort of aiming this at smaller corps, not necessarily large corps who can run their own sites or alliances like Goonswarm who have their own IT going. I'm just trying to help out the smaller guys who may want to have the resources to manage their corp better, but can't do it themselves.
So, what I am looking for, especially from current CEO's/Directors running small corps, are some ideas on things you would like to be able to do on your own site. Remember, I am also gearing this site to be IGB-friendly, so there is the ability to validate users easily, allow copy/paste of data, create links that are in-game friendly, etc. |

Well, it's not made yet. I'm still working on the authentication system.
In the mean time, I'm hoping to get some ideas on features since I'm not familiar with what people have a need for.
I know Buyback systems are popular for industrials, and they can be a pain if you don't at least know spreadsheets or what not.
I just really need some more ideas to build on to hopefully make this project worth while.
Thanks for the notice though. Sometimes I'm scared I'll just immediately get bashed for my ideas (since it's happened before). Then you get discouraged and don't even want to make it. |
