It is very much a work in progress (and much work remains yet to do—but my focus is on infrastructure concerns first—design will follow, starting with mobile UX), but starting to work fairly well, serving a small group of users both publicly and offering private spaces to conduct discussion relevant to our hobby.Features for Orc.One include:- In-site messaging between members, with notifications and simple badging- Forums (for site members with access)- Accommodations for lurkers with accounts (users who do not post, but who might like access to some of the private material)- Strict public and private separation of content types and assets, clearly marked for users- Consistent and specific experiences depending on user roles- Forums, microblogging, personal blogging, and Feature blogging implementations- Short URL service, but for admin use onlyCubelight GFX website: http://cubelight.graphics (Drupal site); Creation of an independent and significant platform for self-promotion, publishing, and professional news for the founders; CSS customizations; Layout and menus; New content creation and import from older sites; Blogging and social media sharing and engagement; Prototyping — working in an emulated environment (sandbox) before changes and features are deployed to the public http://cgfx.us (site alias/branded URL shortening service & e-mail)
