I'm looking to throw up a web site that supports user submitted entries and allows voting and comments. Similar in form and function to FMyLife.

Basic requirements of site:

  • Users can submit text entries - generally 1 liners
  • Enters can be up or down voted
  • Comments allowed - presentation collapseable

Would like the fastest path possible. Ideal solution is configurable vs requirement for programming.

Have you had a look at Drupal? You can get a site up and running pretty quickly, it's very configurable, and it'll allow you to add to the site you're proposing if it grows...

I was going to suggest Drupal also. You can get modules to satisfy all of your requirements.

Thanks guys do i need php experience? And is there a significant learning curve if i've never use drupal before?

@Howiecamp - PHP not required, unless you want to write your own modules. Some experience setting up a LAMP server would be useful, but I did it from scratch and it was ok...
