Hello :)

I'm considering Drupal for a bigger Project: It would be a Site with a big Focus on Media, Podcast, Community, E-Shool, internal-section, etc. This would take a few month to prepare. So I'm thinking now if it would be a good idea to start concepting and building the site with an Alpha or Beta Version of Drupal 7 and realease it when Drupal 7 is ready.
But i think nobody knows when Drupal 7 will be really ready for this?

Over the past year we saw two parallel community initiatives heavily influencing the development of Drupal 7: a huge effort in improving Drupal's usability that led to the introduction of solutions and features, radically changing the user experience in building sites with Drupal 7. At the same time, advancing on the direction taken with Drupal 6, many internationalization improvements were introduced in core and many more will be available through contributed modules.

Both initiatives were driven by key contributors of the community, to promote them and push them forward. Self-organized sprints were held both for UX and i18n improvements, which allowed people to know each other better, work together, drafting ideas, and participate in designing and developing ideal solutions.

As a natural consequence, we launched the Sabir proposal: a community-driven project which aims to produce a platform dedicated to communities with minimal technical expertise, allowing to easily share news in multiple languages.

I don't want to follow people i want to follow tags as if it were a twitter.

Is this possible?!
