Has anyone been using Drupal as a Collaboration and Knowledge Management Tool. I am interested in hearing user experiences if any and whether there are any recommendations on how Drupal can fit this sort of requirement. We are looking for a calander, doc management, notes, forum etc. standard info collaboration facility.
Well, I keep thinking we need 'Now what' articles. People familiar with web design and mid sized to large corporate sites know what to do to build sites. Folks new to Drupal and CMS's in general get stuck. Sort of a 'Now what' happens. I have been suggesting a configuration guides series for a while but have been to busy so we're going to try this. Pick a target and see how many people's different solutions can hit it. This will show different strategies and how people use different modules from within Drupal to accomplish similar effects. Then pick a few of the approaches and write them up for the handbook to assist those that come after us in the best spirit of Open Source. Also, if someone does some automated profile building, then these perhaps can serve as a base for that.
This weeks target is how many ways to get to a 'Corporate Brochure' type site. We start with an existing target, the goals of the Bryght guide.. Now, it's a very nice guide but when I first read it, I thought, I'd do it differently. Of course, I hadn't thought of using the book module that way either.
I have a client who's looking to migrate the site for her non-profit news organization away from their current custom-built cms, to something more flexible and better supported. It's about a 5000-ish page site with archived articles dating back about 25 years.
My first thought was that Drupal would be a great choice for this, because I've seen several examples of drupal sites of similar scale and content.
