I've set up a test site for MajorNEWS.com.

• It is using compo.sr
  • Poke around a fresh install here

It has many features I would like on MajorNEWS.com

• It may be easier to add Steem blockchain functions to this program,
  than take existing Steem programs and add all these features.
  • ??? We will see ???

Once installed, here is what it says on Step 2 of 10 of the setup wizard...

Compo.sr features

The list is long.
Content types:

• Catalogues - Think “databases on my website”.
  • One that is installed is used as a links directory.
    • This could be the easiest way to categorize all the news from around the world.
    • AND you could create an links directory to any or all of your Steemit posts!!!
• Galleries - Images, videos (including YouTube), audio
  Community and personal galleries.
• Calendar
• News and blogging
  Community and personal blogs
• Quizzes
  Run a competition, Surveys, Tests
• Wiki+
  • This could be used for many things.
    • Example: for gardeners, we could have a wiki page for each vegetable, fruit, plant and embed galleries and link directories onto each page.
• Downloads/documents library
  Can "charge" for downloading or let it be free.
• Web pages

General Features:

• Banners
• Search Engine
• Newsletters
• Featured Content
• Tags and a tag cloud
• eCommerce and subscriptions
  Sell products, services or access to your group.

Built in Forum & Chat

• Public or private

Built in points system.
This will need a serious look at by a qualified Steem programmer to see if it could be converted to SMT.

• Points store
  Buy things with your points, like maybe an upvote???
• Gift system
  Rewards outside the Steem reward system...
• Leaderboard

Programming standards:

• swear filtering (not sure we will use this...)
• CAPTCHA
• Blacklists
• Honeypots and blackholes to find and ban bots.
• Heuristics
• SSL/HTTPS
• Punishment system: warnings, probation, silencing
• short urls for Google SEO
• Automatic site-map generation
• Responsive design
• W3C standards
• XHTML5
• WCAG, ATAG
• CSS
• AJAX techniques
• WYSIWYG editor
• 200+ tutorials
• Localisation support (Translate into multiple languages)
• Zones - Each with it's own custom menus, themes, permissions, content, ...

There are many add-ons.

• Maybe we can create a Steem-Connect add-on. ???

As you can see,
this is a quite comprehensive set of features.

Here's the tl-dr short list

• built in point system that hopefully could be converted to SMT
• links directory (custom catalog (database))
• Galleries, polls, downloads, wiki
• forums and chat
• Usergroups (Communities), clubs, zones, etc.

That's why I would like to see if we can integrate Steem features into it.

Any Steem hackers programmers, know if this is usable?

• Would you like to be part of our team?
  • Here it is on GitHub.

BTW I have a post with steem-bounty for ideas...
