I found John Wohlers’ presentation on drupal’s flag module from the recent Chicagoland Library Drupal Group to be quite interesting (skip to 1:20:50 in the stream for that presentation). This module looks like a promising way to allow users to bookmark/favourite content on our new site as well as to flag inappropriate content. I also [...]
This site is hilarious. If you enjoy the first episode below, there are three more waiting there for you. Thanks to Drew for the tip.
