EtherPad open source code - New possibilities?

Google took control of EtherPad, an on-line cooperative writing system, and released its source code, recently.

Is there any desire to develop something Drupal around this source-code, whether it is hooks into someone else's EtherPad service or a new module?

I can't believe it is totally worthless to this CMS.

Image as a node vs CCK imagefield

I'm in the planning stages of a social website and am having to plan how I want to store the images. I want the images to be classified using several taxonomies (type, location etc), have comments enable, and that they be readily accessible (i.e. re-used) in other parts of the site. This would indicate that images as nodes would meet my requirements, but I don't see how images as nodes differ from a CCK image content type that uses Imagefield (assuming only 1 image is allowed in Imagefield). While doing some searching on this subject, I found this useful link: http://drupal.org/node/325688

From the article:
"Generally, people associate Image module with this images-as-nodes paradigm, and in fact Image requires that all of the images it handles are each represented by a unique node. However, it is possible to take full advantage of all the above benefits with any image-handling module. For example, using Imagefield, you could create a custom content type that contains one CCK imagefield, and configure that field to "contain" (refer to) only a single file. However, note that this custom CCK node type would not be compatible with Image module or its add-ons, and should be named something other than "Image" to avoid confusion."

Drupal 7 database organisation

Hi,
I don't know if i'm in the right place here, it's just to understand how things are working in Drupal 7.
I try to make a database shema of the organisation of database tables, can you look at my shema and say me how i can connect them ?

Especially, do you know what is the entity_id field in field_data_* (field_data_body, field_data_image, etc.) ?

Thanx in advance,

How Can You Tell Externally if a Site is Using Drupal?

I'm kind of curious to find websites in my area that use Drupal. I've always wondered, is there an easy way to find sites that use Drupal? Like can I somehow do this through a Google search of some sort?

Amazon like website in Drupal?

Hello people,

I'm working on a amazon-like website. It's a local website with a database of writers. Each writer has a profile and clients can give ratings (with stars like on amazon) and comments on the writer's profile. People who rate don't have to log in. People who give comments need to log in.

Untill now I have got only experience with html. For this project I'm considering Drupal.

So my question: do You think Drupal is the right fit for this project?
Can you give me a starting point? Good templates for this purpose, ...?

Thanks a lot!
