How to best share a drupal site?
I was recently part of a poster on our Drupal-based Collaborative Sites Platform at EduCause.
As a part of the session proposal, I promised an "online starter kit" that would allow people to download our version of Collaborative Sites, install it on their own servers, tinker away, and perhaps even collaborate with us on improving it moving forward.

I work for a group at the UW that manages a small group of Drupal sites for departments in our building. (No, this isn't a service we extend to just any department, it has to be in our building.)
However, when approached for this service, we always stress how
1) we will give you a blank drupal install, maybe a theme or two, a tutorial on how to use it and let you go to town.
2) we will not do custom design.

Read moreTagging comments?
Hello!
I'm curious - is there a good (and ideally easy) way to incorporate tagging of comments?
I'm thinking D6 here. Is node comment a good way to go? the only way to go?
Has anyone been down a similar road before? Any pitfalls?
Looking forward to any tips you might have!
Thanks!

This month, in anticipation of DrupalCampWI, we'll be getting together at the Memorial Union on campus (800 Langdon St). We'll be inside, overlooking the Terrace at the Lakeside Cafe (which has power, and if you've registered for DrupalCampWI we'll have a temporary guest ID for wifi access).
Come out to get help installing a drupal stack on your laptop in preparation for Camp tomorrow, and to meet fellow Campers.
