Can Drupal scale to 100 users?

I was talking about SCF and Drupal yesterday with someone I'm working with on another project, and he said he finds Drupal difficult to scale. He thinks that it's not capable of handling more than 100 users. If that's true, that would be a major concern for [our project]. What has been your experience regarding scaling issues with Drupal?

My first response to that was in internet-speak: LOL.

Then I recovered my professional self:

Biblio module, first take

Biblio has rave reviews and is on its ninth beta release for Drupal 6.

It does not have Views 2 integration yet, which would be nice.

The questions are:

  • Can CCK fields be added to biblio nodes such that they will they look integrated with biblio core qualities?
  • If not, can Biblio be Views2-ized and will that make seamless presentation of CCK fields and Biblio attributes possible?

Agaric looking at Trac for Project Management and Git integration

I have never liked Trac. I just don't like the user interface, the inability to use HTML if one wishes, some problems I encountered with cross-posting comments causing the slower writer (me) to lose their comment, and unquantifiable prejudice.

But everyone else at Agaric is for it, so for now we may try Trac+Git (a separate trac and a separate git repository for each client) for new projects rather than our Project module plus Organic Groups approach (which we will continue for most existing projects).

Moving a site from an old version control set-up using SVN to Agaric's new Git-Capistrano glory

Agaric salutes you, Stefan!

And without further adieu, the steps to move a Drupal 5 site from one of our legacy approaches to development and deployment using version control to Stefan's Git-Capistrano set-up (and upgrading to Drupal 6 in the process).

Moving CarlitosNY.com into the new system (and Drupal 6 while we're at it).

On the production server, find where it's hidden...

Modules in Agaric's Drupal 6 Core Project Starter

Agaric Design Collective's standard project starter distribution, stored as a git repository from which cloned projects can pull updates (upgraded modules or core and new additions), consists of Drupal 6 core and the following excellent contributed modules drawn from the thousands publicly available on Drupal.org.

Commercial online auction costs

CMarket was the best there was when I looked a couple years ago, and it looks like it's gotten financially worse. Before, they stated the up-front and percentage fees, and all I remember is that we could theoretically turn a profit doing it cheaper.

Now, that's hidden in the application process, except for this ill-advised boast:

"Customers earn an average of $5 for every $1 they invest - an astounding 400% return on their investment which is why cMarket has become the preferred online auction provider for schools and nonprofits nationwide." (cmarket.com/run-auction.htm)

Site expecting more traffic and the built-in Drupal response

A typical (well, sort of) heads up that a site will be under heavier load, and our minimal (very minimal) scaling precautions using Drupal's standard features.

Hey fellow media revolutionaries, I just wanted to let you know we'll
see an increased load on http://saveournet.ca today and likely for the
next couple weeks. I just launched a campaign.

It could be very big, but I've been known to over estimate this stuff.
