Hi,

I know that there are thousands of topics like that on the net, but I would like to know what's the status in our group.

Please type your favorite BB software, and please write why you like it, and what you hate in it.

I personally use Invision Power Board 1.3, but I hate it. There's nothing good about it, the only reason that I use it the all my moderators like it, and don't want to deal with phpBB. (I can't wait to surprise them with DruBB) :)

Please share your experience,
Have a nice day.

Note: this is not itself an SOC proposal. It is a clarification of work already done and work to be done.

The MySite module started as a simple summary view of a Drupal website. It allows users to select content from a list of categories, add RSS feeds, and see what's new on the site.

Since its first release, I've been adding new features and pushing in new directions, and I'd like some feedback.

Hey guys what do you think about my new website www.NYplanet.org ,it's an online community website of New Yorkers. Users can add places and events and set locations on google maps, take a look and write your opinions.

Well... there are no fireworks nor a celebrity party with coctails and hors d'oeuvres. The site just opened. :-)

Drupal Norge is hoping for a very active community of developers, translators, users and providers of Drupal in Norway.

It's looking like there's already a ton of interest and excitement pertaining to install profiles and distributions. As Drupal groups seem to be an ideal platform for collaboration, I'm thinking we should continue to figure out/define some best practices or rules of the road pertaining to keeping the communication open while keeping the signal to noise ratio high.

I'm assuming there are no clear answers or set guidelines, but here are some questions...

Something I really like about the Drupal.org site, and something I don't see really being managable outside of it, yet, except if core is used exclusively for the most part, is the fact that ALL the nodes posted (outside the issue cue) are all forum posts.

I've noticed on a couple of other sites that I visit that, for example, consist of blog posts with a separate forum section, most of the dialog and discussion that develops with visitors goes straight into the comments section of the node and the forums collect weeds, comment spam and dust. "Community" development is limited to comment threads and the consistency of content posted to the front page nodes, and conversation outside the comments? Non-existent.

Can anyone point me to some good examples of userpoints? We've enabled theom our sites, but so far we're not doing anything besides tracking the total in the user profile. We're interested in using them as a way to reward users for participation (i.e. giving them different ranks for reaching certain point levels) and/or as an alternative currency to purcahse t-shirts and other schwag. But we're nervous about the potential to incent quanity over quality. Any suggestions?

FYI our sites are:

Comme vous l'aurez peut-etre remarqué, le site de la traduction francaise de drupal (drupalfrancais.zapto.org) est désormais drupalfr.org. Il est important pour nous de remercier Patechinois qui nous a fourni jusque la un peu de place sur son server ainsi que son temps.

Ce premier changement marque ainsi le début d'une série d'évolutions qui ont pour but d'améliorer le site, de rendre drupalfr plus proche de vos attentes, et de vous faire découvrir tout le potentiel de ce superbe outil qu'est drupal.

D'autres surprises sont aussi à venir...

First - I want to ask why we can't turn on subscriptions here on groups.drupal? We apparently have taxonomy_breadcrumb and a few other "non-core" modules working. We have 64 subscribers, and nobody knows when posts are updated here without coming back each day (which I get few of the 64 do). I think with subscriptions on we'd get a lot more participation.

Ok, enough of that. I would like to know who here is interested in participating in the mock creation of a drupal web site optimized for SEO. What I mean is - let's collectively write a cohesive plan for setting up the most optimized site possible.
