I am trying to find just a list of lessons, I joined a little while back and I see you're making great improvements in the layout of the groups page, but I'm still a bit lost.

The dojo-howto tag doesn't contain just a list of lessons. http://groups.drupal.org/taxonomy/term/1262

The "lessons" tab lists events and other things in the lessons list: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2191/lessons

Here is a quick recipe that uses Drupal's Feed API, Feed Element Mapper, CCK and the Embedded Media Field to create independent embedded video nodes on your Drupal site by RSS. This is my first screencast and first contribution to the Drupal Dojo, I followed the specs on the other discussions as best I could, consider adding this to the Dojo video pool.

We have been pondering about how to best evangelize China into the Drupal community -- and in droves.

After operating in China for two years, and despite of our best trying such as holding the Drupal BootCamp event in Beijing http://www.drupalchina.org/node/3638, our biggest challenge is the practicality of getting Chinese acquainted with Drupal -- BEFORE -- we can even talk about having them participate into the DROP program, let alone directly contribute into module or theme writing.

In an effort to compile some great resources for our Drupal Boot Camp Champaign participants, we want you to help us tag your favorite Drupal-related resources on del.icio.us

Please tag your favorite links in the following way:
drupal, bootcamp, [topic]

Where [topic] is one of the following:

• intro -- For resources related to what Drupal is, why people choose Drupal vs. other CMSs, etc
• basics -- Basic Drupal jargon, getting started, installation walkthroughs, etc
• theming -- Your favorite contrib themes, theming guides and help
• modules -- The modules you use most, tips for finding the best modules, etc
• community -- Resources on how to get involved with the Drupal community and hook up with like-minded peers
• inspire -- For resources which showcase just how awesome Drupal is and what can be achieved including but not limited to beautiful feature-rich websites

Yesterday we took some steps to redesign the group homepage. It's a step in the right direction, but still far from done. I would really like to continue working on our homepage so that we can have something really useful that will serve as a model for other groups on g.d.o. What do you think?

Here are some initial issues I see:

• No way to quickly see "what's new" in the group
• A new wiki page will not surface anywhere
• We probably need to work out a better system for scheduling upcoming lessons...

Use this thread to discuss what we should tweak/change/add.

Lately I've been noticing that many posts have been off-topic.
I think we should figure out what we want in our group, and some standards.

First of all, I've tasked myself with removing all job postings from the group, since jobs REALLY don't belong in this group.

There have been some random how-to's, postings about irrelevant events, postings about some projects which I don't think anyone from the dojo really got involved in (read: http://groups.drupal.org/node/4216), and of course class notes, lesson postings, and dd2.0 stuff.

So, many folks are wondering where things are with the Dojo 2.0 initiative, especially after DrupalCon. I haven't posted any March next steps because the roadmap is changing a bit now. I actually did not get to attend the Dojo BoF at DrupalCon due to a scheduling conflict (I was presenting at the time) so I'll leave the details to others. I just wanted to answer some growing questions about "What's up?"

This post is intended to pull together my thinking and some of the discussions that took place in Boston around how to get a solid framework in place for real next-generation javascript into core for Drupal 7. My specific interest is in taking the promise of Nedjo Rodgers ajaxsubmit.module (part of the jstools project) and overhaul it to work in harmony with the amazing new AHAH features in Drupal 6.

My objective is to release a solid contrib module for Druapl 6.0 which provides a good framework for developers interested in this functionality, and implements some useful default behavior that will give it some purpose and life "out of the box." Assuming I can make decent progress on this in the next six weeks, this is a good way to figure out what's needed, and define functionality and code which can be engineered into Drupal core for the 7.0 release.

The full post here contains my initial spec, thinking on how to accomplish all this, and first experiments with extending the existing ajaxsubmit module.

During the Drupal Dojo Birds-of-a-Feather meeting at DrupalCon Boston we discussed two seperate items that I believe are interconnected: figuring out how to get more video lessons into the Dojo and doing a better job of attracting more potential teachers and students to the site. To address the first of these issues, I committed myself to doing outreach to individuals and companies who are creating video-based instructional materials to try and get them to submit their work to the Dojo. After that session I started to look around the series of tubes known as the "internet" and I found quite a few videos. But, what I also noticed was that a good percentage of those videos already are being shared with the Drupal community, but through drupal.org/videocasts rather than the Dojo, which oddly doesn't seem to appear on the videocast pages at all. This brought to mind something that I've heard Josh and others talk about, the idea that we should consider moving the dojo to something more aligned with Drupal.org itself, and I have to say that the more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me.

So, my question is this: does it make sense to consolidate our collective efforts in one location that is better connected with d.o. itself? Something like video.drupal.org, or possibly as a subsection of a tutorials section of the site (which is where the videocasts now sit), which could be called something like tutorials.drupal.org.
