Yeah you're right, there's no evidence that it's commercial. I incorrectly assumed that it would be monetized or that services would be sold through the site; I guess because I can't see any other reason why someone would duplicate the functionality of Drupal.org and Drupal Planet, unless there was some kind of spin, like a local community or something like that.<div>

I think you're in violation of the Drupal trademark policy, although I'm not a lawyer, it seems that way to me: </div>

Hi,<br><br>Most of things are similar to <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a>, however I have given a blogging facility also and in future have planned to take it forward.<br>
Yes it is a legitimate effort because after being a member of drupal..org ( <a href="http://drupal.org/user/399718" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/user/399718</a> ) since 1 year 15 weeks, i get a kick after answering questions of users in <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a> forums. I wanted to extend the available information about drupal on the web, so came up with this site.<br>
The idea behind keeping the default garland was to use drupal core provided resources.<br>Still i will take your advice and will install an attractive theme today itself.<br>I am waiting for more responses from users, so that i can enhance it.<br>
I really appreciate all responses.<br><br>Regards<br>Sagar</td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div>
