I have a requirement of developing a web applications where users have to maintain a status for a certain entity (like we see in Jira). Can I achieve this with Drupal ?
Actual requirement is to create a workflow like environment.
A user creates an entity (say an order)
That entity may consist of text, image, zip files. (uploading required)
Once created, entity will be updated with a state, say 'created' and another group of users will be able to observe them.
Users can change the state of the order, like in a work-flow, changing the status from one to another until it reaches the end, say 'completed'.
This is the core requirement & I want to know whether I can manage this kind of a scenario with Drupal.
Drupal is a content management system. Jira is a bug tracking/project tracking system.
Q: Can you create a bug tracking and/or project tracking system in Drupal? Yes. But it will require a bit of programming development on your side.
Q: Why not just use Jira? Or consider an open-source alternative (like Bugzilla)?
There are actually a number of project management and ticket tracking options in drupal. Most exist for D6, but Case Tracker is being ported to D7.
Perhaps you might be able to begin your build with existing contributed code.

I'm wondering how to approach the topic of user organizations in ASP.NET WebForms application and SQL Server 2008.
Create SQL Servers in-built Logins / Users
or
Create a Username / User and use it to connect to the database. A user data held in the table with password (salt).
Is the second option is a good option? If true please support me with your knowledge.
It sounds like Forms Authentication can help you immensely:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301240
For an ASP.NET application, you should be going with your second option.
You definitely want a strong hashing algorithm equipped with a fairly long salt to make sure your passwords are secure.
In terms of an algorithm, you should look at something like Bcrypt, it's got a pretty good reputation on Security StackExchange.
I would use the second option, I dont like builtin logon system. In an old project of mine, there is remember me system and it doesnt work now, and I cannot figure it out why it doesnt work.
It is always better to do your own logon system.

What are the competitors for the standard ASP.NET login web controls?
I want to build a scalable site and manage the users.
You have several options, there is DotNetNuke which is a big time opensource user/login/permissions, CMS all free and works in .net with sql server. Also you can go to visual studio and start a new project and as long as you don't choose the empty project it will create a mini project with a login system that you have to add your database info and so on.
Then again if you're starting out there's nothing like learning and doing it yourself, its fairly simple.
sql server table with username, password, accesstype(admin, user)
login form with username, password fields
do a select to table passing username and passwords and see if it returns a value, if not the combo incorrect.
if it doesn't start session and set the user id in session if you need to use it somewhere else or just to make sure that it times out by checking that session id in everypage.
that's reallyyy basic but its the idea of it.

I planning to do web site like groupon.com. But I am wondering how it would be easier and faster...
I am planning to choose Drupal CMS or Symfony framework.
PS. I am new in Drupal and Sympony.
PHP frameworks are a great way for developers of all skill levels to reduce the need for repetitive coding, speed up the development process, and to ensure proper coding when creating web applications. This not only speeds up the development of rich applications, but it also tightens up PHP security by reducing the risk of security holes in your coding..
While not really a CMS, the Symfony framework allows us to custom build anything that can’t be done with the tools above.Symfony is a PHP framework that provides an architecture for developers to build complex web applications faster.
One big gain ISTM with Symfony is that the caching and overall performance does seem rather better. Another benefit of Symfony is being able to tailor your application to the users' needs. Of course this comes with the (possibly considerable) extra development effort.
Drupal has an extensively flexible core that can be used to build modules to do just about anything you might want.
Each framework has it's pro's and con's. For choosing one, you need to decide what you want.

From your experience what is better SF.net or Google code?
To publish open source code? What is indexing faster in the search engine so it has more exposure?
Of the two you asked, personally I'd say Google Code due to the homogeneous feel of all projects. A Google Code project looks like all other Google Code projects. It's very simple to find the information you need due to, again, all GC projects having the same layout, indication of project activity, ability to manage your GC project site through the revision control. It just gives a very basic, simple to understand interface for you and your community with powerful tools to manage it remotely.
Personally, though, I'd suggest github. It's everything I mentioned above but with the ability to use Git. Just about all of the code-esk archive sites give you the same features, just a different way to interface with the user.
Also, personal note, I just tend to stray away from Sourceforge because it always looks so busy no matter what page you're on. It's somewhat obnoxious and unnerving.
I used to be on SF, but I moved all my code over to google. SF is just too restrictive--they require approval for both setting up a project, and deleting a project. Google gives you much more flexibility. You can even reset your repository on Google if you need to.
Also SF is just hard to navigate and manage. Google is simple and straightforward--like mentioned above it's simple to find the information you need.

I am finding a drupal module to enable file sharing between users, somebody know someone???
I've been investigating the same thing, and there are a number of options, based on your requirements:
You can use node attachments, as described above.
You can use the FileField module, which would give finer grain permissions.
You can use the WebFM module for a more file-system oriented approach.
Or, you can go whole-hog to a document management system and integrate KnowledgeTree or Alfresco.
I think I'm leaning toward FileField for simplicity, although I've thought hard about going full DMS.
You'll want to have a look at the /admin/settings/file-system page and then enable the Upload core module (/admin/build/modules) I assume, otherwise, you'll need to clarify your question.
Drupal is not the application for p2p sharing.
