The introduction of Drupal for the website has been a major success for two medical societies of which I am a member: Drupal 6 for www.iclam.org and Drupal7 for www.gav.nl.
Some specialized modules are particularly welcome for societies like these. E.g. the conference, Biblio, webform. So I'm very curious what the research module will bring us.

Drupal is famous for a steep learning curve, and justifiably so. In many ways it seems that Drupal is built for experts. While I love Drupal and enjoy building websites with it I have to ask; does Drupal have to be difficult? Is that steep learning curve necessary? I'll say that its not technically necessary and that it comes out of the culture and philosophy of the Drupal development community.

Now Drupal does and makes possible lot of very complex stuff and thats great, but its also called to do a lot of simple stuff. Drupal is frequently very frustrating because while it makes the very hard possible, it also makes the very easy hard!

When I log into http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/ username and password are demo. Is it showing an error message after getting log in - "You are not authorized to access this page." Can anyone tell me please why I am getting this error. What should I do to fix this work. Please tell me the process to fix it.

Thanks & Regards,

Instead of IRC that is old way to chatting with people should be replaced with Google Plus that is easy to use by country/Language.

Hello,

Anyone knows what's the best twitter module that will allow me to get hashtags, mentions or words from tweets? I've seen lots out there but knot sure which one will be more effective to show some twitter statistics in my sites.

Thanks!

I'm looking for some advice please. I've successfully created a few basic drupal sites using both v6 and 7 but still consider myself a bit of a novice, and am certainly not a coder/programmer. I've now got a potential project coming up where an interactive database is required.
