Hi All,

I am a total newbie to Drupal and CMS's, but I am very much comfortable in PHP programming. I am trying
to build a community site. I need advise on how to go about building such a site.

I want to know, how to use DRUPAL with other CMS's like PHPizabi and Dolphin. I felt, both PHPizabi and Dolphin are very good community site. What modules do I need to use and how can I customize the Drupal configuration with any one of two CMS's? Please let me know, how to integrate the community sites with Drupal. Please suggest your advises.

As the introductions continue I'd like to start a substantive discussion: What roles can/should Drupal play as a content management system for print output?

Here's some context: I've been involved for the last couple of months in a background conversation in which one of the memes is the need for a single, unified system that can output to Web, print, audio, video and as-yet-to-be-defined channels.

I'm going to quote (without attribution) from a private email:

"It would be wonderful if a one-person weekly newspaper journalist could cover the news and write it up (with photos, video, audio clips) in a clever content management interface that would, in some wonderfully automated way, result in not only the production of a Web site, but also the creation of packaged files from which a low power FM broadcast can run, a community access cable TV program can air and, of course, a newspaper can be printed."

Well, I just found about this group (and groups.drupal.org) today, and I've been using Drupal for over a year! I see this group for SEO has 59 subscribers, and yet I hadn't seen any posts from any of you on seo in the main drupal forums. Why is that? If I had seen mention of this before, I would have joined as soon as I found out - and there are questions that people are asking all the time about SEO in the main forums that deserve answers. I've been trying to answer all the ones that I can find.

I posted twice in the last month in the main forums to solicit input regarding an article I wrote on my web site: How to Optimize a Drupal web site for Google and other Search Engine Crawlers. I was surprised to find I didn't get a shred of feedback. The post has been viewed almost 1,200 times on my site and I've not gotten any feedback there either.
