Hello,
I was searching for ideas on how to implement a professional social network (targeting my region) and while asking question @ Warrior Forum someone suggested BuddyPress.

I ask, can BuddyPress help me to setup a simple professional social network likendin?

Here’s a list of do’s:
A Directory for/of Professionals
1. Directory Listing of Members by Criteria (Profession or others)
2. Extended Members Profile ADD/DELETE/EDIT (Name, Address, Picture, Education)
3. Rotate/Displays Selected Members Pic on homepage
4. Login Registration or Facebook
5. Mobile Version: access website using mobile devices
6. Public / Private Chat: Members can chat with each other.
7. Forum
8. Moderators Login
9. Admin Login
10. Groups: Members can create groups
11. Projects: Members can start projects and invite other members to join (kind of groups)
12. Picture Upload and Sharing
13. Home Page / News: Post News Articles or Events
14. Event Calendar

Extra

15. Blog/Forum
16. Job Posting by Companies

BuddyPress with the help of the right plugins from the WordPress plugin repository (https://wordpress.org/plugins/) can do everything you’ve mentioned.

11. Projects: Members can start projects and invite other members to join (kind of groups)

This is the one point I’m not sure about off the top of my head. It may need some custom code as I’m not aware of a plugin that does this.

Do you freelance or where can I get excellent WordPress Coders/Designers to help me set it up?
