In the spirit of promoting human perseverence, comraderie, the possible opportunity of making some $$$, creating a little slice of history (and, most importantly, imparting more and more knowledge to us lesser technophiles as to how the ins-and-outs of this thing called drupal works!), I crashed into an idea:
Would anyone be willing to work on an web community/e-commerce/artist website with me?
I know a lot of you seasoned development vets must be groaning, 'oh, give me a BREAK!' to this, but the way I see it is like this: myself, I need a dynamic website for e-commerce, community building (including YOUR community) and artist development and promotion. A lot of this coding stuff, and indeed a lot of the concepts, are like MJ to the rim with me in the post -- a.k.a. so far above me right now, I can't see it without a radar, i.e. intensive 'tutorialization' and practice. Thing is, I'm really not a 'pure' coder or programmer, and, newbies, make no mistake -- this IS a big boys' terrain for PHP/ASP/SQL/HTML integration (which I'm not!). I'm a marketer -- with a lot of corporate connections that would benefit from a tech-orientated communities' expertise. Maybe it's time we can combine the technical dynamicism of Drupal with the social networking of good ol' consumer marketing!
So, I'm going for (not quite) broke: is there anyone out there REALLY good at working with Drupal, to build this web community with me? It combines the fluid environment of chat, forums, blogs, etc., with a marketplace, eBay Stores, the 'hood (urban/ethnic culture now rules the scene, and I've compiled my contacts in this regard) and even the stock market?
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
