Welcome to VANDUG!
The Vancouver Drupal Users Group (VanDUG) is the local meeting place for Greater Vancouver people interested in Drupal. We were formerly known as the Vancouver League of Drupalers, but that's a long story.
The group mostly hangs out on Slack at https://vandug.slack.com/. We also post our meetings on Meetup.com at https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Drupal-Users-Group. All are welcome, it's listed as a private group to keep out the griefers.
We've been holding semi-regular virtual meetings during COVID-19.

Create a Drupal site that lists all the modules on all of your sites
Hi all,
given that Drupal 7 is now in the wild and that module updates will be coming thick and fast over the coming months I'm trying to figure out how to get to grips with which of my sites have what modules installed.
In a perfect world I'd have a Drupal site which knows about all the other Drupal sites that I have, what modules are installed on them and what versions those are. A little like Aegir and Update Status for modules. Does such a thing exist?
