[consulting] Req for (paid) support

[John Sechrest]

I think we disagree on this.

As a consultant, I have the task of trying to get drupal to behave for the client.
I have clients who want drupal <-> email solutions.

All efforts I have put into this so far have lead to the system not 
doing what I want.

So there are two paths. First is the path of changing how the current
system works. This is the development path and the one you are talking about.

The second path is to find the recipe to make the current tools do what we want.
This is the path that I am talking about.

If there are aspects of this that should be development discussions that is 
fine. However, I am still looking for the consulting question -> 

How do I make the current tools work in the context of my current clients?

Perhaps I just don't understand the tool enough and there is actually 
a way to make it work as I am trying.... And this is not a development question.


The problem is that we all pick up our particular tool and use it over and over.
The developers pick up the hammer, and everything looks like a nail. The consultants
pick up the screwdriver and everything looks like a screw....
