Some notes on implementing a housing community that uses drupal:
The themer role in Drupal is basically a new type of administrator. When I look at the role of a program/division/organization administrator, those people are creating, organizing and promoting comtent. They need to move around various data sets and content to create reports and prove performance or pave the way for new ideas. They talk to people in various forms of communitcation(texting, email, phones, letters, reports, proposals, etc...) but they all need to be accounted for and managed in records and reports and calendars, etc.
the themer is basically someone who knows how to access information-outputs from a database and place them on a page-view. they design work-flows and manage content at a very low(?) level.
my idea is to develop a new administrative and organizational trend and breed of administrators ussing drupal as the platform.
the venue I strategicly choose for developing a critical mass of new administrators is to create an 'open-source' housing/redevelopment model. this will capture and create new jobs and housing opportunities for the bottom end of the housing market, while, over a generation, create a new bread of organization and administrator, and foundation.
putting this initiative into the context of the green redev model opens up the opportunity to establish the third pillar: ecological principals integrated into the administrative measures.
pillars:
1-business logic
2-social
3-ecological principals
