BuddyPress.org

I’m green here, and was hoping you might help me. I thought it would be great to use buddypress as a virtual tumor board to discuss the treatment of different types of cancer.

I set up a trial account here: http://www.grandrounds.org.

In order to make this work, all members of a group would be able to initiate a post/forum thread?? but we would need to have some data elements required for each entry to standardize the data and make it usable as a registry. ie:
Location
Size
Diagnosis
Prior treatment
etc.

plus be able to attach an image (ie: xray, etc) to the post.

i’ve been playing around with things and am getting frustrated and confused. Thoughts on this?
Thanks so much!!
Jeff
