General discussion

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anybody would spare 2 minutes to answer a quick survey on 'Mobile Website Design' for my dissertation at University.

Many thanks to anyone who participates.

Hey People,

I have one big complain around the whole Drupal community culture.
I am a senior frontend developer and still in learning process of Drupal. I do not have much exprience in drupal either. I love drupal it is such great CMS. However, I am not happy with the whole culture behind it.
let's face it. Drupal's forum is not the best out there, like we see Joomla. In takes many days to get a proper answer. So many developer prefer to use IRC instead, such as myself.
I usually ask for other developer opnions about the specifc modules ans so on, since i dont have much expreince and dont have to try all the modules one by one. Is all about sharing knowledge and experince right?
ok, here is the thing, everytime this is what i get: "Goolge it!" , "Have ever bothered to google", "I am not going to answer your question, google it", and sometimes they use very offensive words/slangs .... It is allways full of sarcasm, hate, patronising... WHY??? it feels like a Third World Dictatorship country.
yes the question is WHY? isn't an open community? why some people (not everyone, there loads of lovely people out there) think they OWN the IRC or the FOrums and think that novice people are waisting their time.
It is not compulsary to answer other people question nor to offend them. IS NOT OK.

Hi all,

I'm very new to Drupal, got Drupal installed. But, got stuck at updating a module (coming from WordPress background).

Ultimately figured out how to do it:

Now, I've created an account and I'm going through the documentation.

I would like to move my company from MS Sharepoint to Drupal. I have thousands of other html pages in other intranet sites. Would like to go the open source route, but wondering about the pitfalls. Kindly state at least 7 reasons why Drupal is better than MS Sharepoint. It will help me make a better business decision.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I want to ask, if anybody knows something about this: is there a posibility of getting any Drupal certificate at this time?

Hello.

I'm pretty new at Drupal and just recently found core files changing (aka hacking) as an awesome thing. It's so much quicker and easier to do basically everything. I got hooked on this and before everyone will start bashing me that I shouldn't do it...
1. I have enough experience in PHP & MySQL, so I really know what I'm doing.
2. Making a website to myself, so I remember where and what I changed before.
3. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rewriting a huge parts of code, just tweaking there and here.

So what could go wrong?
