Baisong: /* Disabled Modules */

This is a list of contributed projects included in the bw-drupal Drupal profile, and their intended purposes.
== Enabled Projects ==

== Disabled Projects ==

'''Display suite (3 modules)'''
I think DS is the best choice for putting fields in the right place.
Plus it's exportable into Features.

'''Janrain Engage (4)'''
It supports Facebook login. Removed.
We'll keep OpenID though and we should make it easy for people to log
in with very common OpenIDs, a bit like
http://hitchwiki.org/en/Special:OpenIDLogin

'''Mail (8)'''
This is the Privatemsg module, which seems the perfect candidate for messaging.

'''Multilingual (1)'''
We will want this one.

'''OpenLayers (5)'''
I thought this was the best option for mapping but another option will
be fine too, as long as it's under active development and supports
OpenStreetMap.

'''Organic Groups (8)'''
Probably the best choice for groups.

'''Profile (1)'''
PCP = profile completion percentage. It's nice but we can leave this
for later, so I removed this for now.

'''User Relationships (14)'''
Started playing with this in bwmigrate, looks like the candidate for
both comments and relationships.

'''Webform (1)'''
The module of choice for a general contact form. We probably want to
keep this, unless there is a better option (i.e. more exportable into
code).

Migrating BeWelcome to Drupal

2011-09-06T03:00:27Z

Baisong: /* Migration */

This is an overview of the project to migrate [[BeWelcome]] to Drupal. This is a work in progress. You're welcome to edit.

The BeWelcome project was started late 2006, and it has gained considerable respect for the way it's run. Unfortunately so far this has not materialized into an big active member base. One possible underlying problem is probably the current code base, which takes an considerable amount of time and effort to get into, experience that is not directly usable on other projects. So the idea has risen several times to move to a more active platform. According to a survey among potential and actual BeWelcome developers, taken in October, there is considerable knowledge of Drupal, compared to Zend, Symfony and even the BW Rox framework itself. (See also [http://couchwiki.org/images/en/images/7/70/BW_developers_survey_2010-10.pdf the developer survey].)

The main git repo is at [https://gitorious.org/bw-drupal gitorious.org/bw-drupal]. This currently contains Drupal, some contrib modules and a BW installation profile. See also [[Set up BW Drupal]].

==Want to help?==
Some things you can do right now:
* create an account here and [http://couchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Migrating_BeWelcome_to_Drupal&action=watch watch this page] so you get updates
* Drupal site building
** build features according to current BW functionality
** find out what's working in D7
* PHP coding
** fix what's not yet working in D7
** add needed functionality to Drupal modules
* <strike>Drupal theming => turn the BW layout into a Drupal theme</strike>
* learn Drupal 7

More will follow later, such as testing and bug reporting. ''We should have an issue tracker. Meinhard? :)''

===User fields===
* user/register should show more than username/password
* geo + address: see "geo stuff".
* User fields settings should be exportable as features: http://drupal.org/node/989900

=== Geo stuff ===
We need a combination of geo and address features, as with support for the D7 field api.

Possible modules:

===Privacy===
Waiting for D7 modules:
* [http://drupal.org/node/744618 CCK Private Fields]?

==Roadmap==
Like Drupal: it's ready when it's ready - no more open critical issues. So no roadmap with dates here. (Yet. Open for change.)

# Implement as much as possible on a D7 installation at bw.guaka.org
#* No importing of data yet
# Make it distributable
#* git
#* everything should become code
# Start importing data
#* With some funky data modules
#* Start with data that has no privacy issues such as wiki
# Create alpha D7 BW

==bw.guaka.org==
* Reflection of current codebase?
* Set up from scratch?
* Run migration scripts automatically?
** Issue: security! Possible solution change email addresses and passwords while importing test database?
*** Has anyone followed up on this? Any access to user account information should be secured ASAP!
===Drupal 7===
We have chosen to start right away with Drupal 7 (D7).

====Con====
* <strike>Many modules aren't ready yet.</strike>
* There are still some bugs.

====Pro====
* No need to upgrade to D7 ;)
* D7 has many good things in core that we want.
** Especially: "Fields in core". In D6, only nodes could have fields. To allow (full-featured) fields for users, one needed modules like content_profile, which brings structural problems.
* A lot of Great Stuff we don't yet know about will not be for D6

===Learning Drupal 7===
Some ways:
* Create a D7 site at [http://www.drupalgardens.com/ Drupal Gardens].
* Set up D7 on your own machine
* Read stuff from http://drupal.org/planet

We need a combination of geo and address features, as with support for the D7 field api.

Possible modules:

** tmwc [http://drupal.org/node/743856#comment-3776918 says]:
**: OpenLayers CCK will be axed; geofield or another module may be the replacement.
**: Well, [https://github.com/developmentseed/geofield here's what GeoField is currently] - it's a very, very simple implementation of a fields-based geo module.
* [http://drupal.org/project/openlayers_geocoder openlayers_geocoder]. No D7 announced.
* [http://drupal.org/project/location location]. No D7 announced.
* [http://drupal.org/project/geo geo]. No D7 announced, see this [http://drupal.org/node/849354 d7 request]

===Privacy===
Waiting for D7 modules:
* [http://drupal.org/node/744618 CCK Private Fields]?

==Roadmap==
Like Drupal: it's ready when it's ready - no more open critical issues. So no roadmap with dates here. (Yet. Open for change.)

# Implement as much as possible on a D7 installation at bw.guaka.org
#* No importing of data yet
# Make it distributable
#* git
#* everything should become code
# Start importing data
#* With some funky data modules
#* Start with data that has no privacy issues such as wiki
# Create alpha D7 BW

==bw.guaka.org==
* Reflection of current codebase?
* Set up from scratch?
* Run migration scripts automatically?
** Issue: security! Possible solution change email addresses and passwords while importing test database?

===Drupal 7===
We have chosen to start right away with Drupal 7 (D7).

====Con====
* <strike>Many modules aren't ready yet.</strike>
* There are still some bugs.

====Pro====
* No need to upgrade to D7 ;)
* D7 has many good things in core that we want.
** Especially: "Fields in core". In D6, only nodes could have fields. To allow (full-featured) fields for users, one needed modules like content_profile, which brings structural problems.
* A lot of Great Stuff we don't yet know about will not be for D6

===Learning Drupal 7===
Some ways:
* Create a D7 site at [http://www.drupalgardens.com/ Drupal Gardens].
* Set up D7 on your own machine
* Read stuff from http://drupal.org/planet

Migrating BeWelcome to Drupal

2011-09-05T18:57:42Z

Baisong: /* Migration */

This is an overview of the project to migrate [[BeWelcome]] to Drupal. This is a work in progress. You're welcome to edit.

The BeWelcome project was started late 2006, and it has gained considerable respect for the way it's run. Unfortunately so far this has not materialized into an big active member base. One possible underlying problem is probably the current code base, which takes an considerable amount of time and effort to get into, experience that is not directly usable on other projects. So the idea has risen several times to move to a more active platform. According to a survey among potential and actual BeWelcome developers, taken in October, there is considerable knowledge of Drupal, compared to Zend, Symfony and even the BW Rox framework itself. (See also [http://couchwiki.org/images/en/images/7/70/BW_developers_survey_2010-10.pdf the developer survey].)

The main git repo is at [https://gitorious.org/bw-drupal gitorious.org/bw-drupal]. This currently contains Drupal, some contrib modules and a BW installation profile. See also [[Set up BW Drupal]].

==Want to help?==
Some things you can do right now:
* create an account here and [http://couchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Migrating_BeWelcome_to_Drupal&action=watch watch this page] so you get updates
* Drupal site building
** build features according to current BW functionality
** find out what's working in D7
* PHP coding
** fix what's not yet working in D7
** add needed functionality to Drupal modules
* <strike>Drupal theming => turn the BW layout into a Drupal theme</strike>
* learn Drupal 7

More will follow later, such as testing and bug reporting. ''We should have an issue tracker. Meinhard? :)''
