Hello!

Is it only me or it's true that Drupal 7.2 without APC is as fast if not faster than Drupal 7.0 with APC?

Some benchmarking that I did on my sites show this. Am I missing something? Or is it so?

I have no idea where to post this idea so I figured this was as good a place as any. It requires a lot of skill and time learning drupal and there is a wealth of information out there that helps, including (but not limited to) the doc pages, blog posts, youtube vids etc etc and so on.

FB like is a great feature for any site wishing for users to virally pick up on things and also to show how good a piece of content actually is. It also allows facebook to see trends behind closed doors and pick up on things. My idea stems from the FB like button and is basically working on the assumption that people who write documentation, blog articles and so on are usually doing so on drupal.org or a site of their own built on drupal and could quite easily be able to place a "Drupal Like" button under their content, which could be based off of their drupal.org user ID (some kind of API key available for every developer/user??). Then in turn, a user could use their own drupal login to like and comment on the article. Why? Well, one it would give that user kudos for the hard work they are putting in, two it would spread drupals reach even further and three, most importantly, it would mean that drupal.org could display an article mashup from around the web (and within itself) of articles and so on that are trending.

What is your approach to relate content to each other?
There is the Node/User/View Reference (References D7)module to relate nodes to others.
The relativly new Relation module is an other possibility.
You can use the same taxonomy terms to string stuff together and use Views to filter on it.
The handbook lists some (outdated for D7) modules to do this.

I'm using the Database Scripts module for a project. I need to regularly dump the database using Database Scripts (no choice there. It has to be in that format, as other services use that format as well) and restore the database with the same module.

Now, I'm on a Windows XP machine, with Wamp installed, so the Linux commands (cp, ls, ..., and the usr path) don't work. The module seems to require them, though. As a result, I can't actually install create or restore any dumps.

where can i find the function of Planet Drupal? wanna owning my own zone and writting blog...
do I need to download some software and install it to use Planet Drupal?
Or can I find it on the homepage first?

I've been using Drupal to manage a community site in support of a regional IT oriented organization for a few years now. In doing my planning for the upgrade to Drupal 7, I've been identifying those modules that appear to be abandoned so I can either find an alternative or work around of some type if possible.
