help with a peer-review-based web application

[ceci]

hello everyone.

 

I've been asked to create a peer-review-based web application. The idea is to have web-based database-driven application that allows community-wide peer-reviewed of online content.

 

I've written php/mysql applications but I am not sure where to begin writing this application.

 

Do you know where I can grab some code snippets i can modify it for my purpose or an opensource package for this peer-review web application? Even some application that does something similar would be find.

 

*POSSIBLE FEATURES*

--------------------

"Applicant requests review

Application is published on the p2patent site

Electronic notifications go out to the peer review community

Peer reviewers invite more experts to subscribe and participate.

Peer reviewers can search and find applications of interest.

Peer reviewers can associate tags or keywords

Visualization aids reveal web site activity

Peer reviewers can: 1) rate claims, 2) submit prior art examples, 3) comment on the patent or on prior art submissions, 4) rate prior art submissions, 5) rateprior art, 6) rate peers.

Prior art submissions are added to a community knowledge base

Peer reviewers can view and rate the comments and prior art examples created by others

Rank ordered results of prior art submissions are sent to the patent examiner and inventor at the close of the peer review period.

Examiner can use as few or as many prior art submissions as desired"

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

here is an example of a Peer-to-Patent video. I think this app is an overkill but it will give you an idea of what I am talking about.

I don't think you're going to find a single tutorial that covers all of that, but you can break it down into individual components and find tutorials all over the place.  For instance, you can search for a guestbook tutorial or blog tutorial for the actual content and comments.  A 'rate this' tutorial for rating content/comments.  Login or membership system tutorials for having registered users, etc...

 

There are a lot of content management systems (CMS) out there that already have quite a bit of those features, if you want to go that route.  Wordpress, Joomla, etc... a lot of CMS out there have a large community base that makes mods/addons for them, so you may even be able to find a mod/addon for even the features that don't come with the core CMS package.
