nycga.net version 4

The server consistently had hundreds of Apache processes running that were causing the site to be unresponsive and/or lose connectivity. The majority of processes were BuddyPress related. So, we made the decision to turn off BuddyPress. This, of course, required changing the theme because the core BuddyPress theme is no longer available to WP once BuddyPress is disabled. Further, the theme we had was very closely integrated with the BP functionality.

So, where we stand now...

The site is up and running using a barebones (totally unstyled) version of WP-foundation (my new favorite) and is pared down to include the following features:

Events calendar with front-end event editing and creation
Featured events on the homepage
Listing of active (at least somewhat) blogs
Last 3 networkwide blog posts on the homepage
Community forums
Previous content: minutes, consensed docs, about, etc.
Network blogs
Theme has a lot of widgets: header, 3 footer, 3 homepage-specific, 1 global sidebar (all allow customizing on which pages they should appear)

What not included (though the content still exists):
Groups - forums, group-based events and documents
Sitewide activity feed

Things left to do:
Fix font (for some reason the custom font [League Gothic] isn't appearing even though it's specified in the stylesheet)
Improve the blogs directory
Make sure all active groups (there are only a few: Occupy the SEC, Alt Banking, Outreach, Movement Building, Money is not Speech...)
Bring in documents from groups and organize by groups using taxonomy (could be call Group documents)
Consider changing/upgrading permissions for users that were formerly admins so that they can continue adding files
