Any CSA with capital resources?

About 2,000 CSAs in the U.S. About half, maybe, have web sites. Most do not have interactivity-- many have probably paid a chunk of money on this.

Do most CSAs have work shares? That's a coordination problem for farmers, dealing with these

Me: a distribution versus a site?

A CSA profile is fine with me -- you can deploy as many as you want.

User could not connect to database in making a site with a there-then-missing installation profile

OK, you're not likely to run into this problem.

However, if you do things the Agaric way, and point a domain at a server, and Apache sends it to a valid Drupal installation with a custom installation profile option, and you select that installation profile, and then realize you really want Apache pointing your domain to a different, 5.2 installation.

You may get an error about the user being rejected for the database table. And you can keep trying this page with reset passwords and anything and keep getting the same error. It's weird, but that's what happened to us.

Purpose and initial success

The purpose of posting the Agaric Design Collective install profile: to make people realize "hey, if they can do it, I can do it".

An important thing to remember when making or using an install profile is that it replaces Drupal's default install profile, and that this profile actually does something. For instance, it creates the 'page' and 'story' content types. So if you want either of these automatically set up in your new site, your custom install profile needs to create them.
