Hello Matt: I will be giving a talk to the group next week. ?Point number one will be that collecting content is the number one job for setting up and maintaining the web site (meaning I concur with Richard). Drupalmodules.org was where I search when I need more functionality without having me learn how to code for Drupal. ?If you have a database you wish to look at 7 different ways, either mySQL or postgreSQL, things called CCK and Views will present them many different ways with fairly low work. ?I will show one example where I designed a complicated content type, and then view it 4 different ways in the same website. ?I have not had to code in PHP or mySQL, but I have needed to invest time in understanding Drupal-speak. I am not a Drupal-zealot because there is a serious cost to choosing this approach, yet the power out of the box is impressive. Doug
