You are absolutely right! I

You are absolutely right! I love these two sentences:

"there is no possible way any person or even small group of people can recall, understand and know how to use even half of the almost-4000 contributed modules."

&

"The solution is to develop mentoring relationships"

Learn Drupal "the drupal way" is almost as difficult as finding a good and hirable drupal developer or themer ;)

I think your best bet would

I think your best bet would be to pick up David Mercer's intro book on drupal for Version 6 (packt publishing) and the new, O'reilly book by the Lullabots.

Actually, people new to drupal don't know how fortunate they are compared to non-programmer types who got acquainted with drupal many years ago. There's been a veritable glut of drupal related books in the last 18 months. I can say without hesitation that anyone willing to invest in these dozen or so books can pick up a a huge amount of drupal expertise within two or three months.

Not a typo – but unclear and

Not a typo – but unclear and confusing. I tried to simplify it, but I'm not sure I succeeded.

Typo?

"Don't underestimate the cost of learning Drupal. It is almost always more expensive than the higher price of an experienced Drupal shop or developer."

Either I'm not comprehending, or this should be:

Recommendations?

I'm a new Drupaler who quickly found herself swimming in a sea of "ketchup".

The more I spend time learning what Drupal can do for my project, the more excited I am to learn. However, it's a steep learning curve. I'm six weeks into things and searching for little bits of this and that. I foresee several more weeks of research before the results start rumbling in. The majority of my issues have to do with managing dynamic content and themeing output from CCK fields.

I'm enjoying it. However, there are times that I wonder if I've gotten way over my head.

To date, my best friends are RSS feeds and in pariticular the Drupal.org aggregator... which brought me to this post.

I really appreciate all the experts who take the time out of their busy schedules to keep blogs up to date, share project stories, and review modules. They keep us little guys in the game.

Thanks!

Yeah, I have some vague plans

Yeah, I have some vague plans for it that need more thought and development. This blog post is the first step of that thought and development. Actually I'm keen to talk to you about collaborating with the domain name, if you're interested. I'll PM you.

Every Drupal project needs

Every Drupal project needs at least one person who is sufficiently experienced with Drupal such that he or she can guide other developers through the project, showing them what Drupal would do.

Drupal would visit admin/settings/filters and make sure that the default filter contains the HTML filter...

Haha, I knew it was a bad idea to let whatwoulddrupaldo.com (used to alias to the - woefully infrequently updated - blog at whatwoulddrupaldo.org) expire way back when. Looks like you picked it up :)
