Discussion about development environment
Referencing a good discussion regarding some of the technical, workflow aspects of developing a Drupal distribution.
Discussion about Features, Apps, and Distributions
Referenced is a conversation we just had in #drupal-apps that might be helpful as we build out Pushtape.
XML integration for music store
Not sure if this is the correct area to post this. I have a current music store that I would like to migrate to Drupal. Would Ubercart be the best solution? I am currently receiving audio directly from digital distributor via FTP with an XML file included in the folder of audio files. What would be the best way to integrate the meta data from the XML file to fill the album, artist, track, label, etc in the music store?
Possibilities for multisite feature
Some things off the top of my head
1-Open United Content Hub: http://drupal.org/project/ouch
2-Using Feeds with unified features(feature module to create consistent content types/views/etc..) across sites and possibly utilizing a Managing News installation as a hub for content/feed distro across sites - not sure how that would work, but it doesn't hurt to throw out some thoughts.
3-Take a look at OpenScholar, but maybe envision the same type of implementation for a music distro for D7 with OG for D7
