Yesterday was a great OxDUG meeting as usual. Mike Harris took us on a tour round the Drupal Commerce suite of modules, and even though I've had some slight experience of it when helping out with donations work on the CLIC Sargent build that Johan led, I still found it really useful to see an alternative (and arguably more shop-like and fully featured) installation of it. I followed this with a quick presentation of drush site-upgrade, including a sort-of live demo: I merely had the upgrade command running in the background while I talked about my recent site upgrade exploits.
But the punchiest presentation was organizer Finn from Agile Collective giving a quick runthrough the internationalization additions they've made to the build of the REScoop website. Again, we've used Drupal's core i18n options (largely in D6), but really only in a two-language context; regardless, it was inspiring to see these being augmented, with the localization client, menu translations and entity translation. i18n and l10n can often be pain points in a site build, so it's really nice to find out ways of making them less problematic in future.
