Quoting Victor Kane <victorkane@gmail.com>:
Just want to put to the attention and consideration of all the following.
I am someone looking for a CMS.
I go to the joomla page.
I click on the extensions primary menu option.
I don't need to spend a jolt-cola sip in order to know what "module" means or to know what "profile... meta..." means.
I see "extensions".
Some of them are "core enhancements", some of them are "admin tools", some of them are "e-Commerce", and, hey, ... some of them are "vertical markets" (auto & vehicles, education...).
Well, we do have a start [1] at something similar. It does need to be more finely grained, the taxonomy needs work to give real meaning to the likes of "Content display (319)" for example.
ok!
Now if I were a developer, I would go to the developer primary menu option and take a look at stuff like the Framework Overview, and Framework API, where I learn with interest that ... ooh, a nice little diagram that shows me Components, modules, templates, on one tier, and the application tier and the framework tier, and since I am a developer I ... care.
And we have [2] for the developer. [1] http://drupal.org/project/Modules [2] http://drupal.org/handbooks Earnie -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/
