A few months ago we had a few calls where representatives of Drupal
shops and independent developers got together to.... talk shop.

Well, after a summer hiatus (and maybe spring too actually), we are
going to try it again.

Come one, come all

_The call will be recorded and the recording will be posted for all to
listen to.

As in the past, the call is informal and will last 60 to 90 minutes. We
will try to take an agenda (via this email list) before the call starts.

Suggested agenda topics include:
module development, drupal developer training strategies, big project
showcase, etc... Shop Talk.

Release Engineering: development site to a customer site
No good solution for changes that take place in the database like configuration changes. Barry has proposed "teaching" drupal about its db structure, specifically which tables are configuration and which are content.

How about versioning blocks, views, content templates, actions, workflows....
associate particular versions with particular themes, or users....

Philip Smith suggests looking at brickollage.

Gregory suggests people join the "consulting" and "business of drupal" groups on groups.drupal.org

Phillip asks about the import html module, richard from bryght reports that there is a version of the module in drupal 4.7 cvs http://drupal.org/project/import_html

Philip asks about cck and views, ready for prime time?
Laura says: watch field name length
Gregory says: duplicate doesn't work
Barry has some concern about it

CCK Node Relationship reciprocity: civicactions is working on a little module that dsiplays node relationships reciprocally.

Lobby module http://drupal.org/project/lobby) and seed campaign might be a good combination

Eric from development seed is hot on internationalization since drupalcon and govcamp

remember me (login module) by Barry Jaspan is in his drupal sandbox bjaspan
