Make Drupal easy

Capturing the idea from this comment:

http://groups.drupal.org/node/251648#comment-811263

What are the best practices for delivering a website in Drupal that is easy and elegant for content creators? How would we give users a happy WordPress editor feeling? What is the best method for showing only the things they need on the admin screens? On the node edit form?

Please post your suggestions in the comments and we'll work on a proposal.

Drupal evangelism outreach to increase motivation

Posted by heather on September 3, 2012 at 1:49pm

I've just caught up on the closed thread, and svenryan's call for more fun learning materials. I answered his post, but one thing keeps bugging me.

Developers need to be motivated to learn Drupal. With motivation, they seem able to learn anything.

Training is not the way to grow the talent pool. Training is a way to improve the skills of individuals who have chosen Drupal, or help entire teams convert to Drupal after management has made the choice to move to Drupal.

Make Drupal introductory/training material more fun and engaging

Posted by svenryen on September 2, 2012 at 7:50pm

This is an idea and reflection after trying out the Hello Drupal material from Acquia for a group of students.

While I think Hello Drupal is a marvelous and professional piece of work, nicely laid out, with a great compendium that covers the drupal basics in an excellent way, I found it very technical and less engaging.

Material that teaches an entirely new concept needs more of a "fun" factor. This might go hand in had with the typical notion that it's sometimes really hard to do something quite simple with drupal (which i think was pointed out in the closed thread).

Sponsor the LA Drupal Association

Posted by christefano on February 22, 2012 at 10:56pm

In 2010, local Los Angeles-area organizers formed an unincorporated association named "LA Drupal Association" that is officially recognized as a legal entity by the State of California. This means that Los Angeles-area Drupal user groups now have the ability to receive donations and sponsorships large and small to help members produce the events, trainings and conferences that local Drupal user groups in Los Angeles are known for, as well as cover ongoing infrastructure and promotion costs.

Drupal 7 SEO Checklist

Posted by alltooeasy on April 12, 2011 at 12:13pm
Last updated by rajeshreeputra on Tue, 2020-06-16 08:42

I would love to put together a Drupal 7.0 SEO checklist. Please feel free to add/edit.

All comments should be related to SEO in Drupal 7.0 and unless directly relevant should not contain Drupal 6.0 advice (although links to D6 are welcome).

ol>

The SEO Checklist module (available for both 6 and 7) has most of these included it in with automatic checks, datestamps, links to the download pages, and links to the config pages. Very, very helpful module. http://drupal.org/project/seo_checklist

Slogan Proposal Wiki!

If you submit a slogan on this page, put any motivation or link to explain it in the "Log message:" field and not in the body.
If you have to explain a slogan by linking to some other site it's probably bad, but linking to other sites adds extra information so it can be a good idea. If we want to reach consensus it's important to add references.
