I'll be working on a Drupal site for a none profit organization and figure at some point I might have a question or at the very least might want to read what others are asking. I've got a local drupal test environment set up on my windows laptop using xammp. the organization I work for has a linux site where I have second semi production drupal site (both are 6.x site right now) I've been debating on going with 7.x ... but figured I hold off for a bit on that. I'm pretty much in the learning stage now, working thru the Pro-Drupal book that uses version 6.x so that is why I'm going to stick with that for the moment. My first proof of concept will be a survey form. I've installed the webform module and it seems pretty easy to use. The results page is not too exciting, so I plan on doing something else to display parts of the results in a more graphic form (pie chart, bar graphs etc) Will need to research more on the options available to me in that area.

I decided that version 7 wasn't ready yet for newbies. This is based on the many modules that aren't updated and the dearth of books. Drupal 7 promises a better administration interface and more speed. However, those improvements aren't enough to warrant struggling with a very new, not quite released version. Good luck, Bill William A. Prothero http://earthednet.org/ On Dec 27, 2010, at 12:33 PM, Pat Newberry wrote:
