General discussion

I work primarily on the usability, SEO, and performance testing side of things, and recently I've had a few clients ask about Drupal in regards to SEO in particular. Can someone point me in the direction of some resources, or hopefully share your experiences regarding the pros/cons of Drupal development in this regard?

Hi all,

Can anyone point out some Good Drupal e-Commerce Sites that are up and running?

I did a Google search and came up little to nothing (sigh).

Thanks in advance!

If I type in something simple like "views", there is no result anywhere for http://drupal.org/project/views, even if I click modules. In fact I just use google to search drupal.org now..

Is drupal is able to handle effectively all the Top 10 Security Risks as mentioned by OWASP

(https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2010-Main):

The OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks for 2010 are:

A1: Injection (SQL, OS, LDAP, XPath, Program Arguements) – untrusted data sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query.
A2: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) - untrusted data sent by a server to a browser.
A3: Broken Authentication and Session Management – compromise passwords, keys, tokens etc. to assume user’s identities.
A4: Insecure Direct Object References - exposing a reference to an internal implementation object without an access control check.
A5: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) - forcing a browser to send a forged HTTP request.
A6: Security Misconfiguration - secure the defaults for framework, platform, application, framework, servers (web, application, database).
A7: Insecure Cryptographic Storage - protect sensitive data.
A8: Failure to Restrict URL Access - access control checks on page access.
A9: Insufficient Transport Layer Protection - protect sensitive communications (avoid invalid certificates, weak algorithms).

I'm looking for a CSV list of all US universities and college campuses.

I'm also debating whether to create a custom content type "college" to allow users to add their university/college campus or instead finding a free CSV list which I can import and just prepopulate the content type. Another possible option is using geolocation to "suggest" a campus.

I need to be able to specify during import fields such as "campus name," "city," "state," and "zipcode." "street address" would be ideal.

It would be REALLY nice to see a formalized mechanism in drupal.org's module management that would support cross referencing of other modules AND noting the relationship. There have been several occasions where I was looking for a module for specific functionality and found that it would take a combination of modules to achieve what I was after. A mechanism like this would quickly demonstrate that this module has/can been extended and give a better snapshot it's true power/flexibility.
