Everything I am doing can be added to the database and dropped into Drupal relatively easily. If you intalled Drupal you probably have the skills to install a module. I think some of Moshe's stuff might require replacing one of the files that comes with Drupal.
If sites are ready to go and want to learn Drupal they should. I don't think we should slow them down. It might make more of a tech support headache for us, but I think its worth it. -Neil ---- Original message ---- >Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2003 11:19:25 -0700 >From: Joshua Koenig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [hackers] Goals >To: "Zephyr Teachout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: "'Ka-Ping Yee'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >I was actually thinking about this today.
