Hey there,

I run a non-profit drupal site (www.dialognow.org) where the database is growing out of control.
The cache table seems to quickly get huge, and I think some other tables (not sure which ones) are getting very big very fast as well. There isn't enough data to justify such a huge database (it's only a few hundred stories, and a few thousand comments: the dbase is 700 megs!).

Background

I like the idea of bounties and the recent bounties people have offered. They seem to be effective, so I though I would try to start one myself.

I am offering a bounty on the completion of a usenet module that meets the below specifications. My offering is $100 USD and I hope others will contribute financially as well in order to encourage a developer to undertake the task. If you are a developer and have begun developing this module, please comment here so we can avoid duplicating efforts.

At one point, many months ago, I had a semi-working usenet module (far from complete, but it was a start) but have lost the code. My TODO list is always growing and I do not foresee having time to undertake this development myself.

Module Description

Seamlessly synchronize a specified forum with a specified newsgroup. This integration should be relatively transparent to users of the drupal site. If someone named ‘johnny’ posts to the newsgroup directly, users of the drupal site would see that post as being by an anonymous user named ‘johnny’, etc.

The admin user(s) should still be capable of deleting posts. When a post is deleted, any future replies to it would not be imported into the forum either.

Module Functionality

The module will ‘synchronize’ the specified forum(s) with the specified newsgroup(s) on a set interval by means of the _cron() hook. At this point, the module will push new forum postings by users of the drupal site to the news server(s) and pull new posts from the news server(s) to be imported into the forum(s).

I am the publisher over at gamebistro.com, a still unlaunched games industry Web site. The reason the site is not launched yet is because I can't get Drupal to do what I want it to. The basic design/theme is set up just fine. But a major part is still not right. If you're good with Drupal/design and want to make some easy money, read on.

Here's the problem. I want to have multiple different "front pages" on my Web site. Go to ign.com, another leading games site. Notice how they have ps2.ign.com and xbox.ign.com....they have a "front page" for every major game system. That is what I want to do with my site. I know there is the front_page module, but there is not a module that will allow me to have multiple different frontpages... I need a front for gamebistro.com/ps2, gamebistro.com/xbox, gamebistro.com/gamecube and so on. When I say "front page" I mean the middle part of the page. The main content section. I'm not asking for help with the blocks on the sides or the overall design. Just the middle part.

I've tried creating a drupal "page" but that doesn't quite do want I want either. Go to gamebistro.com/ps2. Notice that I started setting up the same template there that's on the front page. But also notice that the background color is different (the same color I designated for stories) and that I am required to put a "title" on the page, which I think looks out of place.

Ref: We are migrating a "phpwebsite" site to "Drupal". While the "old" phpwebsite is active we are porting / migrating the content to the new site (with a new hosting company).
We seek assistance from a drupal expert during this conversion. Our main issues are:
1. Having a "goto" person for explanations and php code development is some cases.
2. Need someone to explain various Drupal functionality while we become more familiar with Drupal terms.
3. Assistance in configuring (properly configuring) Drupal modules.
