Before you start

Dear Drupal masters

Hello

I'm working for a city administration and we are currently considering to switch our (typo3 based) cms to drupal.
Since I'm just learning the ropes of drupal I'm not yet sure our concept can easely be implemented.

The page should consist of a welcome page which leads to several sections. (fullscreen with no header, footer, sidebars -> can this be done with a custom view?)

I have a site with various sections which I'm primarily dividing up into four main groups. I'm going to have a ton of content for each of those groups.

I get that with taxonomy and various modules I can tag and sort of divide my content fairly well.

Hello everyone,

I've been cracking my head trying to figure out the best solution for a specific need I'm having, but with no success. So I'm posting this to get some advices or helpful ideas.

I'm part of a center which develops several activities in the field of health and personal development. Our website is been running on Drupal, basically just to manage events, basic user registration and sending of newsletters.
With the growth we have been having and our current needs, we need to expand our website to have a more complex contact management.

Just to cut a long story short, this are our main needs:
* contact database with personal info
* link contacts to activities or events they participated in
* register payments (linked to contacts and events)
* being able to group contacts by classes, and keep them after they are over
* send emails/newsletters to specific groups
* able to track and notify of missing payments

and a bit more complex:
* book events to rooms (dont allow the same room to be booked at the same time)
* allow participants of some classes to access online materials (files)

The first thing I thought was to use drupal+civicrm.
Since I'm not the one who is going to be using it, I'm not sure if the complexity of this solution would be too big for its users.

I am making a product website/shopping cart but I need it multisite. In otherwords, there is a general product catalog that will feed the multisites' front pages and shopping cart. The consumer will purchase the items but then the orders will be processed by the manufacturer and dropped shipped. Multisites will be similar but not necessarily the same.

I am a developer and have lots of PHP/Javascript/mysql experience.

Joomla and Virtuemart are very impressive. But I need to do a lot of customization to get it to do what I need.

Hi,

I have a site www.tornooi.net made with joomla.
Now I will start redesigning the site. And maybe even another cms system (drupal is one of the candidates)
But before I look further into Drupal I need to know if drupal can handle the following.
