You could use Tiki's Directory feature for this, but directory entries cannot be "voted" or "commented" upon. Instead, you could simply let folks add a wiki page for each URL to be submitted. The wiki pages can be voted upon and commented. You can then use the category system to help organize the pages.

You can use wiki pages or articles.

Again, wiki pages would work (the videos could be added as "attachments" to the wiki page) or maybe file galleries.

Use modules to add this information to the front page:

  • Last modified pages
  • Most popular pages
  • Etc.

I believe that Tiki's community feature has a scoring system, but I have not used it.

Tiki supports lots of internationalization options for multilingual sites.

Absolutely... that's the beauty of Tiki
