This is very nice to know that open source software is getting same if not more respect and usage as the commercial ones. so future will contain not only the big corporations or MNCs but also the individuals like me which might make some new discoveries. i feel that the innovativeness has nothing to do with the big money or lack of it

Regards

Thanks, this is really

Thanks, this is really helpfull for people like me who are interested in learning Drupal. I have a few sites where I am using Word Press Platform. But I want broad the scope of the site and add in some really cool features which the Word Press is not enabling me to do.

I have asked a few friends of mine that which website script would do the job. Was recommended Drupal by most. Therefore, my next target is to learn as much as I can about this platform.

Was searching for some good resources on this and stubmbled upon this site.

I have seen 1 video and its really gr8. I think I have to go through all now and rest of the posts too.

Thanks man

John

How Drupal improves and evolves, the basics behind the community
It is that phase of my life! I'm just turning 30 in a month, working with Drupal for 7 years and just had my third Acquia anniversary a week ago. Time to look back and evaluate how things went, all the good and bad things; even better if the wisdom can be shared with others. This was part of my thinking when I submitted the session titled "Come for the software, stay for the community" for Drupalcon Copenhagen.

Facet queries? Making custom Solr facets for fun and profit.
It sounded like a really simple request: "Is it easy to add a search filter for 'My posts'?". In other words, add a search result facet for posts by the current (logged in) user through the Apache Solr Search Integration module APIs?

But then the wheels start turning - we want not just one blind link, but a real facet link that tells us how many results we'll get. Also, if we are filtering by 'My posts' then we probably have an equal use case for the opposite filter 'Posts not by me'. So we really need a facet block with two links and facets counts.
