Hi folks. I am an academic informatician with limited programming skills looking to relatively quickly produce a reddit style upvote/downvote system to manage a problem list in a hospital setting. Ideal functionality would include databasing problem submissions and responses, mod-mediated classification through tags, secure-ish login and accumulation of individual karma and posting karma, automatic ordering of topics and responses by total karma points. i.e. just like Reddit, but with a controlled access to a small professional population.

Is Concrete5 the platform that I should be using? I can write a bit of HTML, a fair bit of SQL, and could write PHP a decade ago. NOT a programmer. Need to be able to whack this together over a week or two. Thoughts?


Thanks for any information.
