Our website has a bunch of public information about our community choir organization, but I'd like to add an extensive a members-only section. I want everyone to be able to create their own login name and provide basic information, so we can verify that they are actually part of our organization.<br /><br />Once they get in, we'd have some detailed content about the working of our organization. I'd like to also have a way for our directors to communicate with the choirs (blog or email), a calendar, and allow members to complete some forms online (with backend databases). <br /><br />I'm a programmer and know sql, but I'd like to build this in a way that would make it as transferrable as possible.<br /><br />We are also looking into getting the Macromedia suite.<br /><br />Ideas for setting up a password protected members-only section like this?<!--content-->
