drupal development

I would like to raise a discussion about the prospect of the Drupal community using a system that allows collective design, funding and development of any Drupal project.

Think about it this way: if the Knight Drupal Initative is the Google summer of code for Drupal, what I'm proposing is a Google year of code for Drupal, only there is no single entity such as Google or DKI funding projects, the funds come from community. My partner and I have already implemented a solution that makes that possible (www.fossfactory.org). I would like to hear from you about how suitable this model is for the Drupal community at large.

I want to add color palette in my theme like given in garland.

for garland path is admin/build/themes/settings/garland.......there is fieldset "Color Scheme" Same thing i needed for my theme.

Can anybody have idea about that then plz forward your comments !

Thanks in advance.

Hello group,

I just joined. I love Drupal. I've been reading and practicing from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Building-Online-Communities-Drupal-WordPress/dp/15...

I want to redo my www.zofan.com website usng the drupal CMS, but I need help in designing the website and also in making it highly functional and 'hip'.

Also would like to offer turn-key and custom solutions based on drupal to my customers.

I have some budget to get the site done, but not much. (<2k)

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I'm hoping that if it's not, then perhaps you can point me in the right direction.
