General discussion

After much agony, I have now given up the internationalisation module for my site. There are simply too many issues to be worked out, and too many things that don't work.

Instead I will use Drupal 4.6 feature of having several sites hosted on the same core. So that every site will be a new language.

This is more of a design philosophy than a technical issue, but its solution will probably require someone with more knowledge of Drupal and the various available modules than I currently possess. If nothing else, it's good to have other people look at the issue from a fresh perspective and give me the obvious why-didn't-I-notice-that view. =)

I'm trying to build a site containing links to useful resources for Russian language study--both stuff for study itself and materials with which to practice listening and reading. The problem is twofold--first I'm having trouble deciding exactly how to organize the information, which is largely a problem of my mental picture of how I want it to look. Second, as the site grows (and I hope it does), a collection of book pages with lists of sites and a sentence or two of description will start to collapse under its own weight. I suspect that some of the modules available might help me maintain an organized list somehow, perhaps utilizing the taxonomy system so that I could (for example) easily find all of the links containing military topics and video--or at least see at a glance the kind of resources each site has.

So I'm hoping for some input. Am I on the right track with this at all? Is there some terribly clever thing I could do with my existing setup to make everything brilliant? I'm afraid that some of the module descriptions and interdependencies are just a little too abstract for me to grasp without good examples, so if someone has a module recommendation, it would be extraordinarily helpful to see it in action.

We are looking at Drupal for some internal intranet work. At the same time we are upgrading to PHP5 and I see that the current version of Drupal won't run in that environment.Is there an estimated timeframe for compatability between Drupal and PHP 5?

Thanks

Is there a module which lets you log SVN messages (much like the CVS message/log module)? Or will the CVS module work for SVN as well (with some modifications)?

Thanks.

In Firefox the rendering of the poll module doesn't work correctly.
You can see it here: lear-php.de.
Had anyone else this problem?
