How to create a "facts" list
November 22, 2011 7:43 AM Subscribe
I'd like to create something like a "facts" list and post it online similar to the Chuck Norris Facts web site: http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/
Instead of "facts", the list items would be feature requests for software that I'm currently writing.
Are there any out-of-the-box solutions I can use to get this up and running via a combination of CMS plugins for either Drupal, Joomla, or Wordpress?
I was looking into using open source bug tracking tools like bugzilla to do this but I'm not sure how much those can be customized or if they're simply too feature-rich for my needs.
My of requirements:
1) anyone can create a new item to add to the list. They just need to register/sign in as a user first.
2) the items on the list can be voted on by users
3) items with more votes will be moved higher on the list
4) users can create comments for each of the items on the list
5) need to ability to display either "Top 10" or "Top 50" facts
6) need to be able to run this on my "AMP" server: Apache, MySQL, PHP.
Optional requirements:
1) users can create "tags" for list items
2) list items can be sorted/searched by tags
3) list items can be marked as "completed"
4) completed list items can be hidden for the original list and/or placed into a "completed" list

Drupal will do this with the following modules, some of which are in th core install of version seven.

I'd use a bug tracker with some label modifications. I love this one. Bug ticketing is functionally very similar to feature requesting.
