We are building a news site. It collects news articles from many other sites. It categorizes those articles. It groups together the related news articles. It also allows user to login, choose his favourite categories of news so we can display only those news in his homepage.

Now is drupal good for such a site or should we hard-code the site? The thing is, we won't be adding those news articles manually, so we need a mechanism to read the articles from non-drupal-table and write them to drupal-table.

I have contents eg: news articles in a database. The database is not a drupal database.
I do not want to manually add the contents.
So how should I add those articles to my pages created in drupal?

Hi, One of our sites is taking a long time running this query, when you click on any taxonomy term:

I've looked through Drupal 6 modules for something that allows you to tag images, much like Facebook allows you to tag photos with another Facebook user. I've found the following:

Does anyone know where I might find documentation on how to use the GovDelivery module? I've looked around the web and on the govdelivery.com website, but I haven't been able to find anything concrete. There isn't even a README.txt file that I can reference. TIA! :-)

It would be great if the module search engine of www.drupal.org also filtered results by "module dev state" for example showing only results for modules from release candidate version onwards (or beta or stable release...).

I'm building a couple of sites with Drupal 7 and it takes much time to check all the search index pages in order to find a module which is at least at a beta state.

P.S.: Not sure whether this is the right place to post this
