The May meeting of the San Diego Drupal user group meeting is happening Wednesday May 8th at 7:00pm at the Balboa Park Hall of Champions. This month we will feature extended lightning talks. Please be prepared to tell us about your Drupal work, latest discovery, current frustration, etc. We did this in March on the spur of the moment, and it turned into a very lively discussion on a wide range of subjects. So let's do this again and be a little prepared, which should make it better still!
We'll try to save some time at the end for general mingling and catching up.
Newcomers are always welcome, bring any of your friends that might be interested in learning about Drupal. We hope to see you on Wednesday at the Balboa Park Hall of Champions.

Best Review Modules
We had a discussion that night regarding review modules. I wanted to let everyone know regarding the status of the best three:
1) Reviews: Use it if you need simple reviews. It's stable.
2) Reply: Use it if you need Fivestar integration. Alpha release due shortly. It's based on entities though, so cannot be integrated with comments from Drupal core (thanks to Bill Bostick for pointing out that it needs to be a node).
3) NodeReview: Use it if you need Amazon-style reviews, meaning it is commentable & works with Fivestar. Unstable with errors, but has a strong foundation (originally developed by Crell aka Larry Garfield) & core features do work.
