General discussion

The idea with the catalog structure is GREAT for huge sites. i really like it, i have seen tons of cms's but this one has its benefits.
The no:1 thing i like is search engines find the sites much easier and i can get more sites indexed.
This is very good, and i intend to start using drupal for my site, and possibly in my work, if some steps are made in the new version.

Drupal has a few wrongs in it, I will give you some very good tips to put into the new version, and hopefully you will do the following steps, cause it will increase traffic and search engine placement for all drupal sites.

It's not how many sites google indexes, its how high up you get them.

These rules apply to some other large search engines aswell.

1) google does not index more than 1 id. (this is eliminated with he catalog structure, wich is good :) )
2) on drupal, you do not have different titles for different sites...

Lets say we have a site named "Drupal | community plumbing"
like this one, but we go into someones discussion, lets say this one, on a search engine optimised site... the title would now be "Drupal | Search engine tips for drepal.org development"
If you have the same title on 10000 pages, and similar content in like 4000 of them, google will not index them, cause it thinks it is the same site.

3) Just a little note for you writers out there, the titles and desciption of your articles, tutorials, or whatever your site contains, dunt make them too large, if they are too big google will skip them.

I wandered across a site today that sure looks a lot like drupal called scoop does anyone know if they are using some of the same code? http://sourceforge.net/projects/scoop You can see a live site at http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/main

Is Drupal really multilingual system?

I'm trying to develop a Drupal application for an small intranet portal.

Also I've developed a simple PHP program to manage one data base. And, I don't know if this
makes sense but I'd like to include this program within my Drupal portal.

I've just put the PHP code within some static pages and it looks quite fine. But I've come across
one problem with the below HTML form that I'm using.

form method="GET" action="?q=node/view/29"

input type="submit"
/form

I just went to the downloads. There are three versions. Do I assume the most recent version is the most stable version? Why is install so complicated? Why am I forced to review this post?

Hey,

I have been going through the Drupal source in the hope that I could contribute towards it's development. I want to write a document that explains the flow of Drupal, its Architecture, etc, so that it's easy for anyone to read it and then take a look at the source and be able to contribute to Drupal. It will be like a "Inside the Drupal source" document that gives a developer information of each part of Drupal and its place in the whole Drupal system. A micro explanation in the macro context. The ability to ask questions and put up drafts as it develops would be great. If not, a few pointers here and there and I will try to understand everything as much as i can and make a document that you'll could review for its accuracy.

In about 2-3 weeks I'd like to put up some prelimanary papers on my understanding of Drupal. Please guide me and tell me where i should put this up if at all you want it to be part of the Drupal documentation.

At this point im getting comfortable to the point that I understand how modules work partly, their hooks, etc., which is to say that i can write a Drupal module. I want to reach a stage where the drupal source becomes second nature to me so that i can contribute towards its development.

I have also written a Theme that is ready to use but I am hoping to make it very flexible and customizable through the Admin interface. I basically deconstructed the xtemplate theme to make it. What do i need to do to contribute this to Drupal?
