General discussion

I tried searching the site for discussions related to my question, but I can tell you that searching the terms "module" and "categor*" return a boatload of results. So, maybe someone has answered this question already, but I will ask it again.

Specifically, on the "Download & Extend" section of the site, the Module Categories that are listed do not include one specifically for photo or image management. The closest term included there is "Media" which covers a whole host of other modules (262 of them today for D7 alone).

Is there a general overview for Drupal end-users about planned differences between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8? If I go to the Drupal Core page the links are to Drupal 8 Updates and How to Help and to the Drupal 8 Initiatives group, my impression is that both of these get very specific and technical very quickly.

However, a Google search on any of the following for site:drupal.org gets no exact-phrase results, implying there is no basic overview page for Drupal 8

Hello,

The comparison between modules with similar functionality is very useful to decide on which module to use. There are several documentation pages and discussions about such comparisons.

Examples:

Module comparisons (only modules able to upload to remote server)
http://drupal.org/node/567432

Comparison of Glossary-type modules
http://drupal.org/node/1179172

Comparison of HTTP Client Libraries
http://drupal.org/node/266511

Comparison of HTTP Client Libraries
http://groups.drupal.org/node/233173

Comparison of node / entity references and relationships modules
http://groups.drupal.org/node/213528

Comparison of Node Ordering Modules
http://drupal.org/node/398508

The problem

Such pages are scattered in the Documentation and Forums of Drupal.org.

My suggestion

It could be more efficient to add a comparison feature to the Modules interface of drupal.org.

For example, in addition to "Related projects" block on the bottom of the right side column which may sometimes show irrelevant modules, it could be extremely useful to provide a block including a list of modules that do similar functions to the current viewed module, with a link to a page of automatic comparison between them, or at least, to an manually-authored comparison page like those mentioned above.

Serious question for those who build Drupal sites for customers. What are your average rates per site? I think I am underselling my basic sites, which I normally charge anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000. Had a buddy say some companies were asking 20k - 50k for an ecommerce site. Now I understand Ecommerce sites are a little more intense, especially because he wanted it multi currency and multilingual, but seriously?! 20-50k estimates for majority of out of box modules and some setup work? These quotes didn't even include any design aside from a blank themeable template..

Which is best suitable affiliate module for drupal commerce where i can track the sales and set the commission to the affiliates based on the products purchased , orders,users etc..

Thanks in advance

I am looking for some "direction" in developing an intranet site for the factory I work for. We paint a lot of parts (primarily automotive). I can envision using Drupal for system/program management, but not quite sure how to go about it. I have done quite a bit of research on inventory management and (currently) think that Ubercart might be the way to go.
