Project Manager

Have you ever been frustrated by the way you and your team work with Drupal, finding yourself replicating change after change or following complex and error-prone protocols to get your latest development to that production site? Do you want to be able to reuse your settings and configuration across different projects, thus speeding up your development process? Are you looking for ways to work more efficiently with your team on a Drupal project, but haven't figured entirely how?

Just after Szeged drupalcon, we won a competition for the building of a generic media platform for the french public national radio group, Radio France. The idea was to have some common basis for all their websites, grouped in a drupal website. Then each of their radio site, or any site they would produce, would be run under this platform.

The Apache Solr Search Integration can give you great results right away, but have you taken the time to look in depth at its configuration options?

You know when you're doing it wrong. When you're staying up all night trying to figure out what your next steps are, what you should have known three weeks ago about this particular project, and when you just don't know who does what. But you're pretty sure that everyone else doesn't have these particular problems, because they're doing so well!

This is probably wrong.
