About the project :
-------------------
The NGO Chaine de l'Espoir TOGO wants to have a better local managing system for children they are in charge of. They want to keep biography details about the children. There is a need to know how much is spent on children for their health the whole year. They have to better master the different 'packs' (food, clothes, etc.) the children receive.

What can I say about using the API of Drupal and contributed modules for building a web application ?
= Pros ...
- Drupal Form_API made things very easy for the developper
- You can through the administration UI add some cool fun feature (an edit or delete link on a view for example) the user by your side :-)
- The hook system is really awesome
= Cons ...
- It's not easy for a beginner to get his hands quickly dirty but with a good teacher it's possible
- Trying to use CCK to create some content types cost a lot because useless tables/data are kept
More details will published from time to time
