Drupal 6.0: Is Microsoft's live.com the benchmark?

I have just started playing with Microsoft's new live.com BETA and protopage.com after hearing about them on the twit.tv podcast. Episode 35 discusses various implementations of AJAX and its impact on the future development of interactive web content.

I suspect these sites represent a new paradigm in content presentation that will be adopted by most serious Content Management Systems, BLOG's etc in the very near future.

A year ago, we were focused on content templates, data abstraction and XML, DHTML, CSS, etc. Obviously these technologies still exist and are important but now we are learning how to integrate them to dramatically change the way content is accessed and presented.

So in the interest of further Drupal development, I put to you, learned friends;

  • What technologies, are just around the corner that we need to consider?
  • What skills and competencies do we need to attract, retain and foster to build Version 6, 7, 8, etc?
  • What investment in code development MUST occur now to enable this new future?
  • What resources are required to enable this development?

Is a mall-type set up possible with Drupal?

Hello there,

I am planning to set up an online shopping mall type site.

What I would like do here is:

  1. Each vendor to have their own "shop" within the ecommerce environment where they can add/edit items, set price and payment mmethod, set delivery method, P&P tax etc.
  2. Users can browse and use shopping-cart in each shops and then taken to respective checkout page.

php-MultiShops seems to do these and VirtueMart's next release promise to have these functions but neither is integrated with Drupal.

Suddenly I lost all the Admin Control link/menu

Although I am loging as my Administrator password to Drupal I could not get whole lot of Administrative control links. I log in via http://www.mysite.com/index.php?q=user then I provide my administrator login and password. I can only see is Logo at top and two links
Edit primary links
Edit secondary links

All all the log information.
Please let me know how to get all those admin links so that I can add contents and manage my site.

Thanks

Where is my index or default or front page

I have installed successfully Civicspace (Drupal 4.6.5) with all the sample files and database/modules. I can successfully log in as admin by http://www.mysite.com/index.php?q=user but surprise to say that when I type www.mysite.com blank page appears. Even same case for www.mysite.com/index.php I can see index.php is there through my FTP.

Serving images with lightweight server

Is there any way of specifying that images should be served from a different server short of changing the hard-coded values?

I'll be building a high traffic site which will need anything non-php to be served from a lighttpd server..
