General discussion

I've been approached about building a site for a local non-profit that will have strong social components. It looks like a perfect fit for Drupal Commons. The one stumbling block is a requirement for "the use of video blogging." I've googled around and haven't found a way affordable for non-profit to enable video creation and playback on-site.

I know it can be done via youtube, but that's too many steps. It has to all occur (or appear to occur) within the site.

What have I missed? If you had to build a video blogging site, what modules and/or services would you use?

Contributed modules indubitably are one the strength of Drupal but can also be a major weakness. As a new Drupal user, i experienced the frustration of using third party contributed modules. Sometime they work for your project right out of the box (and god that feels good ), but often you need to get your hand dirty and add your flavor to them..And in those instances, if the module is poorly documented ( even though it can be very well maintained ), it can become a very frustrating experience and ultimately totally defies the purpose of leveraging other people work. Problem is that Module maintainers are often busy enough submitting revisions and patches to assure a good support, witch is totally understandable.

So to remedy that, how about adding a "Support Maintainers" role for Contrib Module?

Those people would be in charge or writing copy for the main documentation of the module, moderate issue queue, and provide individual support . They would maintain close interactions with the module maintainers to provide help whenever possible or just forward issues to maintainers when out of their competence scope.

This is a reguest.

Please reinstate the general index for the modules and the themes. The index was so useful to be able to display the module by name and then go directly there.

Semi-newb here. I´ve always been told that users uploading their own images is dangerous.. (?) Old wives tale or true? I don´t know.

1. Im using webform/mimemail, which has an image attach, to send images out with emails.
2. allowing authenticated users to have user icons for themselves,
and 3. the cck imagefield in order for users to populate their own galleries.

All upload fields only allow jpg, png and jpeg less than 120k. On a Virtual Private Server.

Should I feel uncomfortable with any of this?

Thanks.

I'm going to build a Drupal 7 website which will support multple online store. But according to my knowledge the only module supports multiple stores is Marketplace which is Drupal 6.x compatible. Are there any suggestion to support multiple online store? Or is there anybody or team in Singapore which can implement whole web site for me? Thanks

When I reply to a thread in the forums, I see my *own* name under "Issue Summary" at the top, implying that I wrote the first blurb up there - but I didn't. Why it do dat?
