My 30 year reunion is coming up this fall, and I’ve said I’d pull together a website. Any suggestions for a good combination of web tools to help people post information, sign up for events, share photos, and generally stay informed about plans?
I’m looking at various wikis as possible platforms for most of the information. And I was assuming I could possibly piggyback on a platform like Facebook, a photo sharing site, or something like that.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!
Leave me a note here, or e-mail me at eggertson (at) gmail. (dot) com.

My family is having a reunion this summer, so I put up a simple Wiki at www.traynorreunion.com using PBWiki. It seemed that what people were most interested in were the details of the event, maps to get there, a list of who is coming (that the participants add themselves) and an opportunity to post other things, like parties that might be springing up in addition to the main event.
I haven’t added any links to picture pages, but I expect that we’ll put something together on one of the sites, like Flickr, or MSN or something, where people can add their own.
When I went to my own reunion last summer, the website they used was pretty minimal as well. But everyone seemed to think it worked all right. The most important thing about any of these is making sure that people who want to get notified via email about what happens get something. That’s where PBWiki is so handy. If people ask for updates, they’ll get told everytime someone adds something to the pages, so they keep noticing who’s coming.
