Howdy,
I've been building a drupal website this spring - http://www.pdxpeace.org
The PDX Peace site is for a new coalition of peace/antiwar/social justice groups and individuals in Portland,OR formed during the organizing of the peace rally/march on 4/18/07 on the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. We're gearing up the website to be a resource for community organizing.
Any comments, suggestions, ideas/tips or best practices for community organizing drupal websites, would be much appreciated.
A priority right now is integrating CiviCRM as a organizing database - connected to the login - and be able to collect information from people while they are signing up - I somehow can't seem to manage getting a form from CiviCRM showing up in the registration page (instead of the webform we have now to 'join').
Other obvious 'to-do' items might be using OG for action groups, or use of views/cck, or Panel views for better organized front page items. I'm currently running this site on shared dreamhost server, but but thinking about getting it on an environment that might be better for running civicrm (bryght?). What server hosting companies do people like to use for CiviCRM/drupal?
