Drupal can be readily configured to act as an Intranet or Extranet solution.  An Intranet is generally defined as an information system for posting and sharing information that functions in much the same way as the general Internet, except that the information is restricted for people within the organization: employees, managers, board of directors, etc.  An Extranet is simply an Intranet the allows select access to groups or individuals outside of the organization: vendors, partners, clients, etc.

Drupal is a great Content Management System out-of-the-box, but one of its real strengths lies in its extensive variety of modules. There are a number of modules which are so useful that we generally always install them with every Drupal implementation that we do.  I've listed them here grouped by general function for you.

Recently we had a situation with a production website setup in a mult-site Drupal installation, where the site started outputting garbage randomly.  The site had been undergoing some maintenance, which included the installation of the signup module to enable users to register for events, as well as an upgrade to CiviCRM 2.0.

For quite some time I have had rather ambitious plans surrounding the VMT Blog portion of our website. Every day our programmers solve dozens of problems ranging from the mundane to the bizarre. These issues span the gamut of the technologies that we work with, and many of the problems are generic in nature and require a bit of research to resolve.
