Make IdeaTorrent standalone  
Written by Caglow the 16 May 09 at 21:23. New
I'd like for IdeaTorrent to become a standalone script which does not require anything else to run. This might take some time, yes, but I think it would expand the userbase exponentially once done.

Solution #1: Code the Essential Parts
Written by Caglow the 16 May 09 at 21:23.
Write code for the essential parts the program does not already have including those which perform database connections, etc...anything that Drupal does that IdeaTorrent needs.

Solution #2: Use Drupal to Make Idea Torrent Robust
Written by philbar the 19 May 09 at 21:41.
If it's not broken, don't fix it. Recoding what Drupal already does is just a waste of time.

In fact, other Drupal modules should be leveraged to make Idea Torrent more robust such as VotingAPI.

If for no other reason, do you really want to create your own theming engine?

Solution #3: Use Drupal to make it look like it's standalone
Written by jgreep the 30 Sep 09 at 21:21.
Use Drupal as the core, but make it appear within a single region, with that region being the only thing visible on the page.

Lacks integration with Drupal.org  
Written by philbar the 19 May 09 at 21:53. In development
Does the Drupal community even know about Idea Torrent?

Developer comments
I'm currently moving the code of the rewrite (IdeaTorrent 2.0) to
http://drupal.org/project/ideatorrent

Thanks for the suggestion!

Selected solution (#1): Post IdeaTorrent to Drupal.org
Written by philbar the 19 May 09 at 21:53.
There should be a project page for IdeaTorrent on drupal.org. This will give the drupal community knowledge of this project which should help it gain publicity.

I should be able to download the project from drupal.org. This will ensure I receive update notifications from Drupal.

See: http://drupal.org/node/7765

The down-side: Needing to switch from Launchpad bug tracker to Drupal.org Issue manager and switching from bzr to cvs.

The up-side: Development help from the drupal community. Better connectedness to Drupal.
