Guys,
OK, I have an idea for an amped-up groups component. This component would combine the following existing components, modules and CB plugins:
Groupjive
extCalendar
The extCalendar miniCal module
The extCalendar latest events module
Joomlaboard
Here's a screenshot of what I have in mind:

Right now, the excellent Groupjive com pulls off the same kind of groups engine that Friendster has.
But the groups on MySpace each have their own full forum -- and not to put too fine a point on it, but I got hooked on MySpace because of that very feature.
We also love the extCalendar com, and would like to give each group its own calendar with admin control and approval.
I develop Joomla/CB-based sites with a few other guys:
CC2k (one of my sites). "MySpace for movie geeks." News, reviews, forums, blogs and networking for geeks and people working in the movie industry.
Playimprov (one of my colleague's sites). A networking site for improv and sketch comedians in LA.
We are PAYING CUSTOMERS. We're looking for a programmer to help us get this component going, and to also build the appropriate CB plugin/tab to go with it.
Please feel free to respond to this post or to e-mail us directly through our sites.
Thanks!!!
