Making the rounds here, sorry if you saw this post somewhere else.

I am working on a proposal for a high-volume Web site, and have been asked to provide some external benchmarks about Drupal performance. Specifically, what I have been asked to provide informaton on how robust the environment is, how easily it scales, and what kind of throughput (bandwidth, concurrent users, number of page views/second, db queries/sec the platform is capable of. They are looking for some real world examples coming from companies other than my own.

Hello, this comming Saturday I am doing a presentation at Drupal Con on user experience research for Drupal administration.

I'm new to Drupal. Just started using it to build a new website.

As I attempt to test it out and add new modules (from CVS and my own), I'm noticing there seems to be a lot of "little issues" with Drupal and the various modules.

There seem to be at least three different modules supporting file uploads: upload.module, attachment.module (+filemanager.module) and filestore2.module (+ fscache). I'm building a low-usage (scaling not an issue) low tech (extremely naive users) drupal site, and wonder which of these options is recommended in terms of ease of use (for end users), debugging/maintenance (for me), and future-proofing (eg, which has the most active development)?

Hello everyone,

I am about to create a site that will have forums, polls, events, etc. I want to have each of these things for a number of different cities. For example, I want users in Denver to be able to login to access the forums, polls, etc for Denver.

I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. Could you guys let me know what you think?

I've been hiding under an up-turned bathtub for a few months... what happened to all the pre 4.5 modules? Are they still available anywhere?
