Is there a "wordpress-ideas like" opensource web software?

Question

I'm looking for a web platform to set up a forum where users can post and vote "ideas" (i.e., proposals about a topic).

More specifically, I need something like Wordpress Ideas.

Anybody knows any opensource software which could help me?

kind regards

Answer 1

Well, WordPress ideas is powered by bbPress + plugins + custom theme.

You probably could spend some time and accomplish a similar set up with some forum software of your choosing, a voting plugin, and some custom theming.

Answer 2

IdeaTorrent is a GPL licensed written in PHP, SQL, and Drupal that will run a site that allows users to vote on idea. I haven't used it, but am looking into it.

Answer 3

I'm building something similar to that in rails: https://github.com/Chocksy/opiniodev-rails-app

I just started right now but i intend to work on it each week. If you are interested any contributor is welcomed.

I'm going to make a blog session tutorial of how i build this thing also.
