The tools are pretty straightforward -- under Page Builder you can create, resize, and reorder columns, which can be filled with various tools/modules, about half of which or more are not relevant to MDP.

It's hard to imagine this system operating as a portfolio, as I haven't seen much in terms of flexibility for adding content except through blogging or uploading images/audio/video.

Profile templates seem adequate otherwise. You can see your friends on your page and others' (mutual friends). I think the creation of formal and ad hoc groups will be the real test of networking capacity.

This was beyond my ability. Let's talk about this when I see you -- I might need a bit of guidance.

I did customize the current "Profile" template. I was able to get it looking pretty decent in admin, but many of those changes were not reflected in the actual user pages. For example, the "forums" tool wouldn't load, just the "loading" icon, and "actions" and "blog" failed to appear at all. We probably just need to activate these.

Also unavailable, as far as I could tell:


 * File Upload Area
 * CV/Resume display Area

User-side profile customization is very limited: just fonts and colors, which I think should be standardized anyway. Maybe we can enable more meaningful features.

Again, I think the creation and customization of groups will be key.
