General discussion

Background info:
I have a total of 25 years of work experience of which 15 years in various IT roles - programming, analysis, proj management and so on.

I am now retired but want to start a home based business for myself. Recently I started playing with Drupal and wordpress cms. My plan is to create and manage websites for small businesses. I have no intention to grow big - eg hiring more people to do the work. I want to stay small, do it myself but perfectly.

My question is:

Does anyone know which Drupal companies (or individuals) have the most contributed modules that are actively used?

It would be great if the Drupal search could be expanded to know this.

I need to recommend a Drupal company so this answer will help create a short list.

Dear community,

I am long time Open Source user and server administrator and I want to offer for some big Drupal project really free hosting.

Reason why I am doing that - I need some references and make a good will from Drupal community as I've came from Joomla! community and now I can see that community as too commercial for me.

I got setuped environment where there is some nice components for speeding up your website without touching your code. That includes:

Is there any possibility to integrate the Microsoft Lync with Drupal 7 version through their API's? If there are any references then please provide.

I work as a professional drupal developer and lately I get the feeling that drupal is getting in my way to become a better developer.

I'm not a computer scientist or programmer by education (everything is self-taught) and one of the things I like about the web is always learning new things. I used to work in advertising as a designer, and my first webdevelopment job was with drupal, now almost 4 years ago.

Who I can contact to remove me from the graylist? I'm using Firefox and Chrome on Windows and Ubuntu regularly and every time I want to login in drupal.org I receive a message that I'm in the graylist.
