Drupal 7.x

Hello,

I've recently become web director of the Returned Peace Corps Volunteer - Washington DC. (www.rpcvw.org)

We are a small non-profit with about 500 members and 2000 contacts that need to be managed.

We currently are using www.Memberclicks.com (which charges roughly $2000 a year for poor service). I'm familiar with Drupal but I am surveying my options before I commit a lot of time with one approach.

Our needs:

- Recurring Dues Payment and Membership Management
- Easy import of CSV data + automatic starting of recurring annual membership via CSV dates (we get members from a third party)
- Registration for Events, both paid and unpaid.
- Easy Event Management (via email, website, third party websites)
- Easy communication via email blasts, ability to select email recipients based on certain characteristics (country served, state lived in, type of work, etc)
- Social Community (organic groups based on country served, type of work, etc)
- Dynamic website functions (blogging, video, easy editing - WYSIWYG)

Questions:

1 - I know about CiviCRM and its amazing. But it seems like it is for managing large groups and constituents. Its almost more complicated than what we need plus I don't know how it works with building a social community which is a focus of ours. Should we use it?

I need to work on a project that requires the use of a CMS. Most of my experience comes in the use of Drupal and module development for Drupal. Most of the time I've used MySql and PostGRE. I might start the project on MySql. So does Drupal support the use of Oracle. I need to know for sure so that if the company plans to move its database to system like oracle, Drupal will support it or at least it is easy and possible for web developers to do it themselves.

Any other CMS would you guys recommend?

We're looking for a Drupal developer with additional skills for a full-time position in Boston, MA. This is an on-site position.

Hi

What does the percentage sign mean in:

node/%node/outline

Is it a wildcard symbol?

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I wanted to create a website in which I am determine payment by content.

For example, if a person want to subscribe to Section A, Section C and Section D of my magazine, he / she can do it. Then anytime he/she can buy an occasional Section B (Example) if he finds Section B to be useful.

Is there such a function in Drupal? Or are there any modules that can support this operation?

I hope you guys out there understand what I am saying.

Please revert

Regards
Y.T.
