best practice

Good morning,

I've cross-posted this to both Semantic Web and Libraries because I think there are elements that appeal to both.

I'm going to give a bit of background on the project I'm working on and hopefully I can get some confirmation as to whether or not this is the "best" way to go about doing this. This is Drupal 7, of course. So far, I've been moving in the most obvious direction and using the tools that are most readily available.

Back-story:

I'm currently in the process of developing a site that I though may be a candidate for a multisite configuration, but I'm not certain. Basically I will ultimately be creating a number of subsites based on geographic location (something in the realm of how craigslist does it). There will potentially be quite a few nodes. Since individuals will come to the site to view info specific to a location, I though for the sake of database size, it might make sense to split it up. I guise to cut to the chase, I'm wondering what the advantages are based on my critera.

Hi there, i was wondering if you can help me, i have recently installed the latest Zen theme to start work on a new site and noticed it's changed slightly with the amount of stylesheets involved now. This is fine but i need to know what you recommend to do with the sub-themes. It's giving me a headache battling with so many stylesheets and switching from one to another to do some simple styling.

What's the best practice, should i be working on my own .css file overwriting these stylesheets or just amend each one as i go along?

Cheers for your help!

Buenos días a todos/as.

He estado buscando un poco de documentación respecto a como implementar un estándar para el desarrollo de un sitio web creado obviamente con Drupal. Pero mis resultados no han sido muy buenos no he podido encontrar algo que me resulte de utilidad para un equipo de desarrollo de 3 ó + personas.

Mis puntos de mayor duda son de integración. Tengo bastante claro y es del uso común el SVN por parte de nuestro equipo de desarrollo, tenemos bien organizado el área de ficheros y sin ningún problema.

Hi,

We begun our deployment of a large community website from a single machine that combined DB and web server two years ago. We experienced continuous growth and our system evolved significantly, different performance tunings led to the following setup (so far):

I have a question about a multi-site folder setup, and bazaar workflow.

I'm thinking of setting up a bzr repository for each individual site, and then a repository for the sites/all folder, plus one for core. Does this sound like an acceptable way to do it?

Then, onto the symlinks:

Firstly, is it best practice to store each individual site folder as a symlink?

For example, say this is my sites folder:

sites
-all
-default
-site1.com
-site2.com

I'm just wrestling with setting up subversion for the first time (slightly ashamed to admit to having put it off for so long) and thought this would be an interesting topic for a community skillshare afternoon one weekend, or perhaps an upcoming meetup.

Does anyone have any interest in either learning about this, or sharing their knowledge?
