I’m bidding on a job to do a website for a nonprofit professional organization. The CFP requests an option where a member of the organization can create a web page for the member (not a site, but a page).

I fear that this might overstep the EE licenese (don’t become weblogging host, nor offer hosting services to others)—I was reminded of license in this forum post.

This would be a single member page. I could see how it could go either way—an optional glorified, public view of member profile, where I tweak items in member profile and then create a template for display of same; any member of org can have this publically viewable member profile page that, for all intents and purposes, looks like a, well, page. Or you might consider what I just described to be “hosting” and therefore verboten.

I’d like a bit more guidance from you before I tell them that no, I’ll use EE as a tool for all their specs except this “member page” one, and will work around the EE license by offering them SomethingElse for the member page.

Hi, Susan,

In that post you requested specifically member weblogs.  I would recommend that you email sales so that we can go into more detail on your specific project.  Please link to this thread when you email, thank you!

Well, not actually. I was reading up on matters of member settings and saw someone else mention it. The response was to someone else which made me go “hmmmm.”

what I mentioned is what I mentioned. A single member page.

I’ll take it up with sales, tho.
