I am looking into telescope right now and got my site up with a bit of custom design ready to go into the wild. The only thing I am missing at the moment is Pinterest in the sharing Module which is Vital for my platform. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done in order to add it to the package without touching the package itself?
Cheers,
Seb
That package is really simple (it's just a list of links), so I think in this case it's safe to clone it and modify it to your needs.

So the idea is simple. I need a learning management system for drupal. Whateve it's a extension or module.
I tried to google it and reached opigno. But it will totally take way to much time to fix it's styles out for 21 century. And also, it's pretty useless. Makes to much problems.
I'd be grateful to any one who will give me any idea!
Thanks,
Kind Regards.
I searched for a school management system module but no result,
If you are not bound to use drupal you may find many plugins in wordpress for the title you mentioned.
you can view the following as an example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress/
or this one:
https://themeforest.net/item/lms-learning-management-system-education-lms-wordpress-theme/7867581
and if you forced to find something for drupal I didn't find with my previous search.
I tried several approaches with the modules I found, but none of them seems to be able to do what I want!
I have a site R (remote) on which I want to integrate the content (posts with comments and possibility to leave a new one, forum, wiki) of a Drupal site D.
My idea is to have a widget on R, containing REST calls to D, but this approach seems to require a little too much effort in the rendering of that content.
How else can I do?
What in your opinion is the best approach?
Unlucky I can't use an iframe :( (I need something of asyncronous and reliable also in case the required content is not available)
Any help would be extremely appreciated, and I would be extremely thankful :)

If you cant use an iframe then Services module is definitely the way to go. The Services Views module is very useful to harness the power of views to give you a nice clean output.
I know almost nothing about this sort of thing, so please forgive the newbie question.
I want to put together an open-source online literature annotation system. I hear this sort of thing is easier to do with frameworks like Drupal or Django, but I don't know very much about them. I found some Drupal plugins that handle text annotation. Is that the best way to go?
Oh by the way, if anyone is interested in contributing, please contact me, because I could use all the help I could get. I've been putting up ideas at http://hyperlit.tiddlyspace.com/
Annotator by Open Knowledge Foundation might do what you want - used by OpenShakespeare...dual MIT/GPL, code is on Github, has a couchdb backend but you can develop your own storage since it is separate from the javascript annotation tool.
I have an idea to use drupal as a document repository and integrate okfn annotator but very much an idea, not a project (yet) - my particular use case is commenting on legislation/draft legislation.
For Drupal, these potentially might do what you want (in various states of development/functionality):
Open Review
Yellow
marker
discussions on Marginalia but no
movement
Sticky Notes and other older modules did not fit my use case
[ http://drupal.org/project/sticky_notes ]
EDIT: Commentpress for wordpress might get you up and running quickly with limited features.
I'm trying to find a relatively simple solution to deploy a website that allows someone to select an orphan and donate to that orphan. Each orphan would be a part of a orphanage...
I looked into Drupal and Ubercart but I didn't know enough about it at the time... felt kinda lost. Could someone point in the right direction? I'd like to use an open-source solution and as many pre-built modules as possible.
Definately drupal - you are right when you say drupal is a bit much to take in, but with the right links, it's not so bad
http://diasporan.net/content/drupal-and-ngos-dango-modules-and-install-profile
That's everything you need, all packaged in a nice install profile. An install profile is like a C make file, it "compiles" drupal for you for a specific use case. Google "drupal install profiles" for more info (Hint, if you see pages explaining "Drush make" you're on the right track)
This can be done in both ways.
I would do it with joomla though, in my opinion it is much more powerful than drupal, has a bigger community behind, and there are many free add-ons.
You can use hikashop as your shopping cart solution. It is is simple shopping cart solution that works very well with joomla.
I made this e-shop using joomla & hikashop recently.
Well, I'm sorry but the best way would be simple and fast with Prestashop.
See you!
Note: I like Joomla! and Drupal but when it comes to ecommerce well... Lets hope that soon prestashop can be integrated with joomla and drupal.
You can use drupal because its a very powerful cms.
The best part is that manages the database very effectively so, if in future your data size increases, then you don't have to worry about it.
The installation is very easy. just visit drupal.org.
The community of drupal is very supportive.
I have an ASP.NET website and over time it has become more and more of a data repository where I have numerous database tables and the site just ships out this data.
I am realizing that a wiki might actually start to be a better model for what my website is turning into. Or at least parts of it as it's really just adding and updating content that I am doing. Here is my dilema:
There are certain parts of the site that do need to be non-wiki and fully customizable, etc. Should I go and build my own wiki capapabilities into my website so I can make it part wiki (embedded when I need it) and the rest regular ASP.NET? If the answer if yes, are there any tips or boiler plate code on how to build and host a wiki?
The alternative is to use existing wiki software. I have tried most of them and my issue is that I need to host it myself on Windows and as mentioned above I want to have complete control and have just a simple wiki page editable inside my site. I have tried using frames, etc. to simulate this, but it all seems kind of hacky.
Any advice on:
A. If you think I should build the wiki part of my site below, is there best practice, boiler plate code on how to do this quickly?
B. If you think I shouldn't go reinvent the wheel, is there any existing Windows-hosted software that I can embed in my site without losing any control?
Rolling your own is a waste of time unless you have some major change or addition to the functionality of a wiki not otherwise available in existing systems (and even then, it's often a waste of time to start over than to branch an existing setup).
I recommend using something like ScrewTurn, which is open-source and ASP.NET, which gives you a fully-functioning wiki with no development, as well as gives you as much control as necessary if you do need to make changes.
I would agree with Rex M. You don't need to start from scratch. Leverage an open source product that is already available and build on it (if you even need too).
The added benefit of that is from a collaborative perspective when you build some interesting functionality into your version of the software and then share that back with the community.
Chances are if you need to build something and find it useful that other folks somewhere have close to the same needs and would welcome your features and enhancements.
That's the beauty of open source.
Take a look at dooWikis. With this, you can embed wikis into your site like you want to, without redirecting to a third-party service, and restrict who gets to make edits.
