New to CI - help and opinions for social project please? - El Forum - 11-01-2008

Hi everyone. I'm new to CI buthave been an EE developer for a while.
I have a nice website I need to build that has some social features (membership, profiles, friends, groups, recent activity) as well as Google/yahoo map integration and XML/RSS feeds for widgets etc. I have been looking at white label solutions like Kickapps but find they are over the top for what i'm looking for.
So back to CI. I have been looking around the forums for a while trying to collate all the plugins or libraries I will need. This is where I would like your help and opinions please. I'm trying to keep my actual coding to a minimum on this project, using as many community sources as possible.
This is what I have so far:
Membership creation & management
?
Authentication
- Redux Authentication library (http://code.google.com/p/reduxauth/)
?
Member groups
?
Templating
- Template CVI library (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/88452/)
?
External asset storage
- Amazon S3 CI port library (http://www.haughin.com/code/s3/)
?
Mapping
- Google maps library (http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Google_Maps/)
?
External feeds (RSS/ATOM/XML)
- Simplepie library (http://www.haughin.com/code/simplepie/)
Assets upload (images/videos)
?
This list is only a start.
I know there are no opensource CI social network libraries which is a real shame. I would love a CI version of BuddyPress to be available as this would form 70% of what I need. I'm not using BP as it is still very much beta and produced lots of errors when I tried it a few weeks ago.
Any help on the above would be great. I can;t wait to see how we can add EE 2.0 into a project like this.

Make sure you take a look at my sig. We're offering a pretty strong admin/membership manager built on codeigniter
