I'm currently using a recently published book entitled, 'Drupal 6 - Social Networking' as a guide for building a social network site. The following are excerpts from the book from the publishers, Packt Publishing. See: www.packtpub.com. I should say that the publishers, Packt Publishing, part sponsored the recent DrupalNGo Camp and sprint in Galway and asked if I would post some excerpts from their book.

Drupal 6 Social Networking: Communicating with Users

Our users can communicate with one another, which is great, but quite often as an administrator the need may arise for us to communicate with a user or users on our site. It may be to remind them about the web site or to inform active users about new changes to the site, which they may not have been made aware of.

This article is extracted from the "Drupal 6 Social Networking" book. In this article, you will learn:

• About mailing lists, and how to use them with our Drupal social network
• How to use an offline approach for contacting our users
• How to use blocks of content to get a message across to your users

I'm looking for the best way to set up a email newsletter service within our Drupal site.

We currently send weekly emails to a subscriber list that exists outside our CMS (we use CommuniGate Pro: LIST Module), but it is limited to simply managing the mail list and we want to move to a system that will give us options like tracking, reports, and perhaps even integration with taxonomy, etc.

Het lijkt alsof diverse nl.po vertalingen van core en contributed modules op één of andere manier haperen.

Een voorbeeld van een core module is contact forms. In Drupal 6.x werd deze module foutloos vertaald. (bevestigingsbericht na indienen van het
contactformulier e.d.) maar in 6.8 hapert de nl-vertaling. Your message has been sent, i.p.v. uw bericht is verzonden etc.. .

Recente voorbeelden van een contributed module is simplenews. Zie mijn issue van augustus 2008 op
