General discussion

First, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

I'm evaluating drupal as a website for a bunch of friends. Mostly, we'll be putting photos on there.

Taxonomies look like a particularly good way to organise the photos. I can have one for 'Parties', one for 'Holidays' and one for each year. By nesting them in different ways, I can navigate the content easily (using taxonomy_menu.module).

Some problems:

A question: why is user 1 specifically treated as special, rather than having drupal preconfigured with an 'administrators' role, and automatically putting the first user in that role?

I've seen that the Height property on book nodes is only granted for users with node administration permission. I think this has not sense. Every node in a book should be in its place, and the first person who knows it is the one who is submitting the node. I think every one who has granted access to send a node for a book should also can decide its height whitout the restriction of having global node administration permission. Did I miss some point?

Hi! I am running a community site that needs lots of interactivity between the users. A good way of doing this is individual guest books, one for every user (with comments enabled). I can't find a drupal module for this, but it sure would be a nice addition!

In the statistics module there is a really sweet feature labeled "track host" that lets you track the movements of a specific user through your site. This would be super helpful on the referrer logs so administrators can evaluate the effectiveness of their promotions.

For example, a user coming to the site via a google text ad would show up in the referrer logs. The effectiveness of the ad isn't fully understood until you know what the user did after coming to the site. Did he view one page and leave? Did he register?

Thanks to all for a tremendous application!

Hey All,

We're looking at drupal here at work for more intranet work, but on a much larger scale than we've previously used it. The business wants "proof" that drupal can scale and meet the demmand of hundreds of active users each day (searching, uploading, content creating etc).

So, I'm thinking it would be nice to have some high-profile drupal site in the "real world" to show them that takes a pounding - any examples out there?

thanks,
