the more we discuss the various alternatives out there, the clearer it is
that unless you really want to get down and spend a few years coding, "dar
um jeitinho" sounds pretty good; also, by now, there is so much 'social
software' out there 'off the shelf' and also a lot of it is fairly
customizable, as in the discordia project, that you'd probably find you'd
simply reinvented the wheel' without having first done "dar um jeitinho" for
quite a while.
