Before you start

Bonjour,

I have a community website to be design and implement. The initiative starts from scratch so that I need a tool that is able to cope with self-organization. We anticipate people to join, start playing with blogs and forums and as the community grows and gets animated aggregate in small groups with specific interests (we don't want to define a priori / don't know).

Hello there,

I wanted to take a look at drupal to see if I'd like to use it. Howver with my hosting provider the mysql databases are on a different server to the web server. They're non local. The Drupal installation seems to assume that the mysql is local and there is no option to specify a remote server. Is this correct and is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance

While I'm here I'll ask, is there a suitable module for reviews and for ratings?? Also what forums do drupal integrate with and which does it integrate with best. I really like phpBB.

Dear all!
I have a plan to build a community driven site dedicated to one of the smaller countries based on Drupal which seems great for this. On this site I'd like to create online dictionary allowing users to add words, translations and edit them. Thought that I could use Drupal for that, binding it with Meida Wiki somehow to create the dictionary (wiktionary).
Do you think this is a good idea? Maybe I should look for some Drupal module with better compatibility? What would be the better solution for such site?
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes, M.

I checked out the Lullaby podcast (http://www.lullabot.com/audiocast/drupal_podcast_no_19_live_from_dc) and heard many good things, And it has sparked my interest in trying to use HEAD for our next development effort. This will be our 6th site that uses Drupal so we are no strangers to the code.

Hello,

I'm an experienced developer (mainly perl) and have never used Drupal even though I've worked on lots of large corporate sites. Now I need to add a limited amount of content management functionality to a small website of my sister's small restaurant so that she and her husband can easily add and edit menus, and also perhaps add a few other pages.

Now I've been thinking of rolling my own with TinyMCE but would Drupal be useful? She has an existing site (www.michaelsonthehill.com) hosted on linux and I am not going to redo the entire thing but just want to add an edit/preview/publish interface for menus and some other dynamic pages (like a hiring page). It has to allow a nonproficient user to easily use a minimal WYSIWIG online editor to get it done quickly, without confusion or destruction. A rollback history function would be nice too.

The site was originally created automatically as a Network Solutions hosted site, and I always have to go in and edit things by hand.

I've been leaning toward an AJAX style editor using a tree or combobox that has checkboxes to show what is being published, and allow files to be moved between folders; public folders would be linked manually into the static site. I don't need a huge portal, just a minimum. I can use a database like mysql if needed.

If Drupal proves useful and also handles Japanese I might consider it for larger projects in the future, but for now I really just want something simple and am looking for the best solution.

hi there,

I want to integrate bittorrent directly into my website.

I found some code here on the website, but no modul in the project directory.

Is there a bittorrent-modul available or in development?

regards, Paul
