development

Hey all. This is a repost of my blog at
http://blog.onsavvy.com/post/52578909727/5-gotchas-in-open-source-projec...

I'm still climbing up the ladder of estimation proficiency so I'd really learn from you guys! Here are some of my experiences and thoughts - what do you think?

=======================

“So how much will this project cost and how long will it take?”

The million dollar question every freelancer and agency faces. Nothing moves before the client gets a satisfactory answer to this question, and signs it off.

I Drupal developer, with experience of more than 3 years combined experience of Drupal and more than 10 years. Developing a ready-made websites, layout, theming, and so on. I have experience in developing websites of any complexity and variety of subject areas. Constantly improve their skill level.
I am looking for an interesting and remunerative work.

Hi guys,

Just a quick one. Code Drop are a Drupal development agency based in Perth. We are available to take on clients or pick up the slack of other agencies should that interested anybody.

Thanks.

Hi folks,

I have started a new podcasting-module for drupal 7 and I did not find any existing.

The source can be found here:

https://github.com/enko/drupal-podcast

I'm already using it and my site can be found here:

If you have any suggestions or recommendations please do so.

Thanks

Tim

I am just wondering if the quiz module will be ported to drupal 8 when finally released hopefully by August, and what should be our expectations (functionalities and performance)?

Thanks

hey there,

I'm studying Views in order to build a module that will use date parts as contextual filters.

with that in mind, I need to know how can I pull a list of date fields (both core and custom date fields) that I can manipulate in simple ways (at first YYYY, MM, DD, but later on maybe weeks within a month or suggestions from users).

is there any tutorial on that? paid solutions (video courses, books etc.) also welcome.

thanks in advance,
Luciano

I'm new to development and have come to a stopping point. When developing a new site and using GIT to maintain the revision control, I also put the site database into version control. When working on a site that is ready for beta testing, there will be new users and user data coming into the live database between development changes that are not in the changed development DB.

How do you get the development (DB) changes into the live site without losing all the new user data that may have been created on the live DB?

Hey Folks,

It's in the works! But it's not ready in October.

We're working fulltime to pay the bills, and it's been difficult to find time to put into Quickstart.

Travis and Roma have been hugely helpful in moving the project forward. We wouldn't be anywhere close to done if it wasn't for their help.

The switch to Puppet, while critical to success, has been a big learning curve for me, and we haven't found anyone with the time to help.

Hello, I am thinking of creating a Drupal Community, for some of the non-profits in my area to better communicate. I am new to Drupal, and though this would be an interesting/challenging project to get started learning about it. I have a friend who has been working with Drupal for a while, but has never built a community. A coworker suggested me this book to get started http://www.duoconsulting.com/capturing-community. Has anyone read this? Does anyone have other suggestions of where to start? Should I even be considering this task?

Recently I've been working more with Drupal, and noticed Quickstart 1.0's post-installation fizzle: "470 days since your last update"!

I've been focused on billable time recently, but with Ubuntu 11.04 support ending 12.10, it's time to update my tools :-)

What's next for QS 3.0?

What I really wanted from QS 1.0, more than anything, was a debugger. A profiler was just icing on the cake.

Now, I really want a sensible dev/test/prod server ecosystem.
