<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Most of you don't know but Peter Van Dijick, author of this article, <A href="http://poorbuthappy.com/ease/archives/2006/12/09/3382/drupal-considered-dangerous-for-startups">http://poorbuthappy.com/ease/archives/2006/12/09/3382/drupal-considered-dangerous-for-startups</A> , quietly helped me in focusing several of the efforts to help improve Drupal's user experience. He's a fan of Drupal and I value his opinion. I'd like to turn this general observation about the difficulties in using Drupal for new companies into something more constructive.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">I have written a draft page based on working directly with several start-ups that have used Drupal. If we can improve the success of Drupal projects for start-ups by providing more guidelines and observations that are particular to the needs of start-ups I'd like to do so. If you have a few hours to help me produce a good first draft <B>based on actual experience using Drupal in a start-up</B> please contact me. I'd like to collaborate on producing something useful that will continue to drive investment in Drupal.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Cheers,</DIV><DIV>Kieran</DIV></BODY></HTML>
