I chose a different theme on the developers-dev.mit.edu site. I don't like how it does the breadcrumbs, but I like the rest. Please take a look and tell me what you think.

This is a description of how to force SSL on the User and Admin pages of Drupal, while allowing non-SSL access to other parts of the site.

We use SVN for source control. I have the following questions:
1. When should we tag a release?
2. When should we branch a release?
3. Are there MIT-specific naming conventions that we should use with our releases?

I came up with a method of displaying a link to Touchstone on access denied pages in Drupal 5.x. This would probably work for Drupal 6.x as well. Here is how I set it up:

1.) Create a new page node. Title it "Access Denied" and use this content:

<?php
global $user;
if ($user->uid) { // this user is already logged in print "Access Denied: You do not have access to this page."; } else { print "Access Denied: You do not have access to this page."; $dest = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

there's a ton of commercial sites that use drupal and are very high traffic. How come they don't experience the same page load time drag as my drupal site? We need to address this asap, we have a beta launch at the end of next week, but by its hard launch it will need to deliver pages much faster. What's the answer?
