Available for work thread
Hi folks,
I'm starting this as an ongoing thread where people can post if 1) They have some bandwidth open up and they're looking for new projects, or 2) They need to pass a project on to someone else.
Right now, I have a lead that I'm looking to pass on. It will be a full redux of a current site, the client is already aware of Drupal and is excited to use it in their project. I'd love to take the project on, but I have too many commitments atm. Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks!
Chris

The fastest way to pick up Drupal
Hey Guys and Gals,
I am in Nampa, and just started with Drupal. I am stumbling, and could use some quick mentoring to get going. What is the fastest way to get familiar with Drupal?

Thank you

First of all, I wanted to thank James for organizing the last several meetups. My friend Melissa came last month and said she had a good time. I'm hoping to get freed up before long to start attending and help out wherever there's a need.
To James and whoever is spearheading the next meetings, I just wanted to let you know that I'd be happy to offer a free month's membership at http://buildamodule.com for each meetup, and occasional DVDs. I have some nice printed certificates I can send, but I can also email a PDF as well.
Using Apache Solr with Drupal - can it handle...
I'm trying to figure out the best way to enable drupal core search to complete on partial words, like search for "pres" and match "president". Note that Fuzzy Search would do this, but as built, creates its own search not change the main site search or enable it for use in Views. Anybody have experience using Apache Solr with Drupal? Does it do this partial word completion?
Thanks,
Jeremy Zerr
