websule [websule]

It was nice talking to Kieran, He is simply best for his job. AMAZonING. We are so happy having clarified our position & I would like to thank Kieran Lal again for the call.

We would like to officially state & confirm that drupalpoint is now websule to respect drupal trademark & we would love to give back to community as much as we can. We will strictly abide by community terms & conditions as well as forum rules for all future activities.

Also, I have a quick question here.
We are all ready with 2 modules, 2 installation profiles & one theme. Can we upload all of them here?
Here is a brief note on how they are suppose to work:

Modules:
1. druplus - Drupal CMS Module. (with few sub modules like druplus_cms, druplus_blogger, druplus_forums, druplus_seo etc.)
[dependencies] => few contributed modules like WYSWYG & imce, pathauto, Captcha, poormanscron, token etc.
Optional, but recommended => CCK family, Views & Image family.

2. drupsocial - Drupal Social Networking Module. (again with sub modules like drupsocial_profiles, drupsocial_relations, drupsocial_media, drupsocial_messaging, drupsocial_groups, drupsocial_flags, drupsocial_locations, drupsocial_events, drupsocial_classifieds, drupsocial_userpoints, drupsocial_chat etc)
[dependencies] => Druplus module* + many contributed modules like content_profile, activity, facebook_status, privatemsg, groups, user_relationships etc.

Installation Profiles:
1. druplusinstall & 2. drupsocialinstall
Quite obviously, both are independent of each other but druplusinstall will require druplus module & drupsocialinstall will require both druplus as well as drupsocial modules.

Theme:
1. drupbase
Highly configurable theme settings with 5 ready to switch color schemes. recommended as default theme for both of the above.

Why we created two modules plus two installation profiles and not just two installation profiles only?
Because, we wanted users with existing drupal installation to be able to utilize the same set of features & options as a fresh installation profile of the same would provide. I hope it makes sense.

Why so many sub-modules?
Again, for obvious reasons of offering wide range of flexibility. All the sub-modules in drupsocial are independent of each other, providing user various possible combinations for a set of features. for example, a user can choose a set of profiles+chat+blogs+forums+groups & someone else can simple go for a set of profiles+relations+media+messaging, and so on..

PS: If any moderator can delete drupalpoint account please, as we will be applying separate accounts for all our team members now.

Ok,

Sorry for being away for a while, have been a busy week working with first release of drupal commons.
I will be uploading code tomorrow for reviews.

Thanks

Hi Michelle,

It`s very strange to hear such a comment from an experienced & respected drupal contributor like you.
You can see.. we have just made a request for CVS account approval and are in the process of uploading any piece of content yet! Where could you see the duplicate code n all?

Also, drupal common, open publish & mostly all drupal distributions use many contributed modules like views, cck, author pane, activity, token etc.. does that mean stealing?
We have created three drupal distributions which we are cleaning up for release. they do use many contributed modules, do you think it is illegal or bad practice to do this?

If so, your drupal modules are also using drupal hooks, please rewrite them to be original work of yours not a rewrite of various other modules. it`s very offending to have such taunting comments for no good reason at all.

I am here to answer everybody & now I challenge you and everybody else (who are feeling some sort of heat) to prove us stealing or copying code from any other theme or module or installation profile.

I will be uploading our first proposed release : a drupal 6 & 7 theme. (blackish & grayish in color scheme).

I will be uploading the cleaned code in next 24 hours for experts to review & comment.
Also, I will be uploading the latest version theme demo on websolutionsmx.com (currently using month old prototype version).
