[consulting] What are you working on?

[Shai Gluskin]

@Andrius... Check out og_mailinglist<http://drupal.org/project/og_mailinglist>.
It's awesome; a small but active group of people using and working on it.
The holy grail of listserve-meets-dynamic-CMS has been found!

I'm wrestling with a client after my server upgrade to PHP 5.3 broke
kcfinder in his CiviCRM installation. It's a reported bug on the Civi site,
but nobody is really working on it because, with Civi 4.1 and newer, you
can use Drupal input formats. So I just switched him to an input format
with IMCE configured as the image uploader, AND I gave him beautiful
written instructions. AND the workflow is virtually identical. But he wants
his kcfinder and thinks I don't care if people's sites break because I like
deploying risky and experimental software. Anybody heard of PHP 5.3 being
called "risky" or "experimental"? (Oh, and this guy's office manager had
recently requested to upgrade to Civi 4.2 which *requires* 5.3.) I sent him
to the PHP site which describes 5.3 as "Stable, Old".

Breath deep. Breath deep.

On a more positive note, I'm just beginning on migrating a Ning site to a
Drupal 7, OG with Organic Goups Mailing List professional networking site.
It's for a professional organization which has thrived off of its super
busy listserve. When they moved to Ning as an "improvement", nobody
followed, they just stayed on the listserve. So I pitched them this
og_mailinglist approach which can preserve their mailing list culture while
getting all the benefits of D7. They bought it. I'm just about to start
building it.
