Hi all,

having attended my first Drupal meeting last night I though I'd say thanks and share a few notes from the meeting.

Talks were given on :

node_grant
========

http://www.drupal.org.uk/tutorial/node_grant
A really powerful access control system that is in core but not well known.

nodequeue
========

http://www.drupal.org.uk/node/255
Which seems to be much like views - but aimed at allowing the admin to specify the order of posts in a listing

Ajax in Drupal
===========
This was an interesting demo on what's possible.

I've since found some more good demo code online http://f5sitedesign.com/drupalcamp

This is a module with the following demos
* Import External JavaScript example
* Inline JavaScript sample
* Settings sample
* Autocomplete example
* Simple Binding example
* Another Simple Binding example
* Add two numbers with AJAX
* Watch a dropdown wtih AJAX
* JQuery Interface Doodads

So thanks to all who shared knowledge - it was fun :-)
