Drupal 4.5.x or older

A couple of random questions:

1. I have a few inactive blocks and inactive views - do such items affect a Drupal site's performance in any way?

2. Is there a Drupal rule-of-thumb on how long one should wait before bumping a post than has gone unanswered?

Many thanks - especially to those Drupal experts who are always monitoring the forums and take time to answer newbee questions like mine.

I have been frustrated by the options out there for project management. I am thinking of using drupal to emulate some of the features you see out there in basecamp and similar products.

Our basic needs is setting up clients, projects, and communicating back and forth on projects.

With CCK and Views I can already to a lot. I would set up a project content type, client content type, allow for node reference between the two. I might set up an extra layer that would be a task or issue that references projects. Say you have a project and it's ongoing and you might open up a task that is an upgrade feature. So that would attach to a project which is attached to a client.

Drupal of course has files/images built in. You can customize the fields for each content type. The tracker helps you keep track of communication. Forums can be used for communication. Built-in contact forms can be used.

For access control I would probably start off simple and just only have closed access to employees. Later on though I might add a layer of access where you could give the client access to their tasks that you mark as public..that can wait though.

I would use the event module to add start/end dates to tasks. I'm not a huge fan of the drupal built-in calendar but it would probably work for that.

Hi,

We are developing a site based around Drupal and are looking for an experienced developer to help us ensure the project is well thought out and a platform we can continue to build on.

I am trying to understand the opportunity of integration of Drupal and SugarCRM to use the existing Newsletter functionality to pull content from our Drupal site but to have access to the emails groups that reside in SugarCRM. Any guidance?
