Donation

Hi,
I am totally new to OA and really flashed by the fascinating Opportunities it gives.
We are planning a new worldwide Social Network with it.
Therefore we also would like to integrate a Shopsystem inclusive a Donation-System into OA for many social projects we´d like to startup.

My question: Is it possible to integrate a give dsitribution like Ubercart or Commerce Marketplace? If so, ist there a proper way how to install it to the given and already installed OA Distribution?
Thanks for any answer advance.

My name is Claudio, I am a Web Design student and am designing a website for a school as for my thesis project ( I haven't started yet). I am very new to Drupal as to webdesign and I wondered if anyone can help me choose the right modules as this is my first time.

So, the website will serve as a tool to rise funding as it is a charity School so it will take Donations
on top of being a standard school website.
The website will have these functionalities:
Donation
Forum
Blog
A portal - (Learning Management System or whatever to Track students, deliver

Just wanted to put up some ideas for where to spend the money being given back.

Obviously anything mentioned on this page should count as a valid giveback:
http://drupal.org/contribute/donations

The most obvious and valuable ones being a donation to the Association, or to OSUOSL to help with hosting of drupal.org. Association membership fees should probably count against (towards?) your giveback amount.

Giving money to sponsor a local (or non-local) Drupal event or meeting should probably count.

I have E-Commerce 5.x-3.0 running in Drupal 5.1 where I have projects setup where people can donate toward the projects I have setup with target 'goal' prices, but I need the ability for them to either:

a) have a field in the checkout where they can designate what component of the project they want to donate towards
b) utilize the subproduct module to allow users to literally pick a component of the project and add it to the shopping cart

I tried doing this with the existing subproduct module, but it is uniquely designed to interact with physical products such as apparel.

We are happy to announce that our 1.5 Beta release is now available for download. This release includes CiviMember - a new membership management component, significant memory and speed optimizations, and Search Builder - a new tool for building complex search queries.

Other release highlights include:
* Log and display who last updated a contact and when
* Include mapping links in Profile search results and details
* Optional CAPTCHA validation for Profile forms
* Generate mailing labels
* Attach photos, documents and other files to contacts
