Very often we all deal with a challenge that one open source platform you choose does most of thing but doesn’t do something which your project requires.  Solution is not too difficult, you can always integrate another platform!

We built a high-traffic social community, which offered a niche product to provide information about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including articles on various health topics. This application is developed using Ruby on Rails, and there were many advanced requirements for the article pages of the site. Since the article pages (analogous to blogs) were not the “meat” of the product, we decided to implement the WordPress MU tool, which provides an excellent platform for multi-user blogging and can be utilized to fulfill custom requirements that WordPress alone can’t do.
