I am planning to create a network of student members. Can the members here (Andy?) tell me if what I am planning is possible with BP 1.1?

All the members joining the network will both teach others and learn from others. So each member would be stating stuff like (in their profile details):

I Can teach (profile question): Calculus (Beginner), Algebra (Intermediate), Physics (K-12) (subjects chosen from a drop-down or typed into a text box)

Want to Learn: Spanish (Intermediate), French (Advanced)

One of the main features of the network would be to find other people who could teach us any of the subjects we want to learn and at the same time want to learn one of the subjects that we can teach (let’s define this as ‘compatible’ students). This is where my customized search feature comes in. I would like to create a function (like a button a user can use, not a *manual* search based on the profile details) wherein the student would be able to see a list of other compatible students in the network. Is it possible to create such a customized search (or other functions like this) using BP 1.1?

One example of other functions is: Once a student finds another compatible student, they can get a private discussion thread and finally when the lessons are over, each student should be able to rate the other student for the particular subject he learnt from the other.

I am a new member trying to see if BP is for me. Please do let me know if such things are possible. Thanks in advance.
