Exam module released on drupal.org

We have created a module for holding exams using Drupal, Quiz and Organic Groups:

http://drupal.org/project/exam

From the project page:

Enables you to use your Drupal site to hold exams. Integrates with the Organic Groups module so that all group members will be put into exam mode when the time for exam arrives. In exam mode the users can only access a predefined set of pages in a predefined order, and all blocks are hidden except those you want to be visible in exam mode. Exam pages are only visible when taking exams.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

VoIP Drupal at the World Bank

Today the World Bank published a nice blog entry highlighting the use of VoIP Drupal to support good governance, social inclusion and citizen engagement:

That blog was the outcome of a presentation that I did on May 2, 2012 to representatives from the World Bank, IDB and other organizations who work in education, eGovernance and related areas. For slides and additional information about that talk, have a look at: http://go.worldbank.org/XM1D7VZE10

Getting Help in the Drupal Community

I've been thinking a lot about what the major hurdles are to learn Drupal. One obstacle I've encountered is even learning how to ask questions effectively in the forums and how to interact with the community. Someone posted this article How to Ask Questions from Hackers and it really helped me understand how community supported help systems work and what info I should include in my questions. However, the tone in that article is a little harsh and I think we could make a friendlier version that's more Drupal Community specific.

Library website

We're in the middle of building a new drupal website and I'm wondering how to best handle integration with library database searches.

Our current (ancient) library website: http://departments.oxy.edu/library/ is using asp to route the search. Are there any modules or best practices for doing this in drupal? My guess is it would be something using PHP whether a module or custom?

Thanks,
Becky

Thanks to everyone who attended the first VoIP Drupal session yesterday (3/20) at Drupal Con Denver!

If you are attending the event, I'd highly encourage you to join us for today's hands-on session at 2:15pm in room 212 (http://denver2012.drupal.org/bof/voip-drupal-hands-session)

As part of that session, we will have opportunity to answer specific questions and go deeper into different aspects of VoIP Drupal, including the main modules of the platform (click2call, phone recorder, voipnode, etc.) and the VoIP Script API.

If you have any comments or questions, please send me an email and let's try to find some time to talk while we're all in Denver. I'll be here until Thursday afternoon and will be very happy to learn more about your ideas!
