Before you start

I've tried for several days making a detailed list in Drupal. Unfortunately i have absolutely no previous skills in making web pages. So i thought i should reach out to the community. I'm eager to learn, and i've tried looking through several videos, books and examples.

I made a exel example on how i would hope to make a catalog one day.

Hi,

Hi, hopefully this is the right place. :>

I'm relatively new to Drupal but, as a fellow code OCD freak, I fell in love with the Drupal way of doing things and here I am.

I'm more of a back-end programmer as opposed to a front-end designer and I was looking to develop a library type application which would allow a group of my friends to develop and collaborate stories for various role-playing characters (with, hopefully, the possibility to have multiple people co-author stories).

How much resources does a tracking and ecommerce drupal takes?

I was requesting server to enable the site on the VPS, but they were afraid it might kill the server, because in the pass a person used 3 joomla sites, and cause server to crash.

are there documentations referring to this?

I'm a Drupal newbie and I'm starting a new project in Drupal 6. I want to be able to group multiple fields together then allow users to add multiples of that group when adding content. I found
http://drupal.org/project/flexifield
but this code is labelled alpha, is over a year old, and seems to have an uncertain future.

Well, I am a small website owner looking for a little advice. I run a new (small) forum for Automotive enthusiasts. I am using phpBB3 for the forum. I now want to add some static, or semi-static content, actually it could be quite a bit of content once it gets going. What I want to add to my site is a 'technical articles' section. The articles will come from 2 groups: Staff writers, and then member submissions. It would be nice to be able to give staff writers more permissions as far as publishing and editing then the members. Members articles would be submitted, then a staff writer would edit then publish. This is mostly to keep poorly written articles from being published, and to keep spam trash out altogether.

So... the website is set up as

www.foo.com Main page
www.foo.com/phpBB3 Forums
www.foo.com/articles Tech articles

What I need is some software./script to write, publish, and occasionally update the Main page. The main page would be a mix of static and dynamic content. Dynamic content would be something like 'recent articles', 'recent posts', 'random photos from the gallery', stuff like that, and some advertising (Google adsense or similar). Then I need software to manage the technical articles, from what I understand, Drupal is good for this. Ok?

So my questions are:
