on a dutch weblog paul molenaar is writing [1] about the possibilities to use drupal for a nation wide (that is, the netherlands) blog community. you might not know him or his companys, but both did a great job in starting the internet hype in the netherlands with a good search site (ilse.nl), a good news portal (nu.nl) and lots of other sites.
There is a lot of interest in rolling out national sub sites. DailyKos is considering doing it. MusicForAmerica.org has begun rolling out state sub sites.
Please count me in if there is a best practices possibility for rolling out multiple sub sites.
* John VanDyk's publish-subscribe would be the best way to tightly couple together sites. * a single user base (e.g. LDAP) and/or a federated identity system (e.g. SXIP) * N-tier architecture with load balanced web servers and clustered MySQL DB Aren't you guys close with MfA? How are they doing it? Can't they write up a short note? And I'm not sure what you mean by national sub site in regards to the netherlands. It sounds like they want one site. Can a Dutch speaker get in touch with paul molenaar and ask what he needs? -- Boris Mann http://www.bmannconsulting.com
