Drupal 8.x

Is there a general overview for Drupal end-users about planned differences between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8? If I go to the Drupal Core page the links are to Drupal 8 Updates and How to Help and to the Drupal 8 Initiatives group, my impression is that both of these get very specific and technical very quickly.

However, a Google search on any of the following for site:drupal.org gets no exact-phrase results, implying there is no basic overview page for Drupal 8

We are seeking a fast and reliable web developer specifically knowledgeable in Drupal (all versions if possible). iPhone app development skills would be an advantage but not necessary. We may require at least 40 hours a week with constant communication with the project manager from the successful applicants.

Those who are interested may send me a resume and portfolio. Details will be given during selection.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

In short: Drupal should ship with form-indipendent CRUD Controllers for all entities it has. It should be easy to reuse code from the core to programmaticly create and update fields or whole entities without manually taking care of language and field settings. form-indipendent validation should take care of this as well.

I'm using Drupal in a lot of cases along with manual imports, exports and generell creating, updating entities / nodes programaticly. Since Drupal 5 this is pain.

Creating and updating in Drupal seems to be mostly Form based. Magic happens often in hook_form_submit and cannot be reused elsewhere in the code. You have to either create fake $form_state, $form and what else arrays to reuse the hook_form_submit or copy and paste code into your module. Reusing the form_submit is btw. also not save, because you'll never know what action - you don't want - are also in the form_submit like, for example, a redirect.

I used this as a tool myself and plan on helping out in the community from here on out, as far as cloud computing and Drupal is concerned. I have built hundreds of Drupal cloud servers in the past 4 months and have a pretty good understanding about how these are built to perform at high and efficient levels.

We have been working a while to put 70+ Open Source applications into Rackspace Cloud and OpenStack for the last 4 months and just completed all 70 "IPSaaS Applications". Developers can instantly launch Drupal and 69 other powerful open source scripts with a few clicks.

On my local machine php version is 5.3.13, some modules are threw warning -- "Strict warning: Only variables should be passed by reference". This is not big deal, just strict syntax warning. Just reminder you guys :).

Example:

$output = drupal_render(drupal_gert_form('example_form'));

It will be warning. It should be change to
