Self-Moderation through distributed administration
*social*ecological*communication*

We have been a spectator in this arena for some time now, all the while building a plan to form a non-profit intending to found itself on new ways and new rules to empower the non-profit community and community at large.
The project will be run by people living in a 60's style ranch house in Sunnyvale CA, smack in the middle of silicon valley. We plan to prove the viability and efficiency of sharing common space for living and working to maybe decentralize the structure of a large non-profit in San Jose which deals in everything from refugee housing and job training, older adult services, child care services, youth services, mental health issues, food programs, etc. Drupal seems particularly keen at what we want to do; build a tool that is infinitely scaleable and agile for all programs past, present and future, while retaining key functional communication bonds across all servers and between all programs and peoples while being location independent.

Hi I and my team developed a E-Learning system (named Shishya) customizing drupal and it came out very well and we won the 3rd prize in the Lord of the Code contest conducted by Red Hat India and IIT mumbai.
Thanx once again..

i've installed drupal, and i am now looking for modules

i've also had a look at your modules-download section of the site (drupal.org).

Yes, i have noticed that there are a lot of modules available, but i also saw a problem that could of a problem in the future
I've noticed that there is no "most recently updated/added mods", and on the page you browse the mods, the mods arent labeled with the "last updated" date.

Drupal is great out of the box for community blogging sites. At the other extreme, it is also great for developers who understand the internal Drupal engine. However, for those in between, Drupal is perplexing, and difficult to theme. It is great that it is so flexible, but this flexibility is pointless if it is not accessible. When people leave the same questions time and time again it means they are finding it difficult to find the information they need.

An overhaul of the handbooks would dramatically improve Drupal's ability to attract new users.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the name of a content type? For example, I may want to change "Story" to "Article" so that it make sense to the user?

Thanks,
Lirong

Planning to setup a small flower shop site with ecommerce module using drupal. Right now ecommerce module supports two payment providers ie., paypal and authorize.net and some members (referred some forum posts) are working on worldpay payment integration. Which provider would be suitable for setting up the shop of this kind (economical)?

Please offer your suggestions/experiences
