The module which we use for production deployment and is very useful for us and easy in use has failed in the battle for uniqueness.

Recently I faced with a problems using code.google.com service hosting for the open source Drupal module. Errors were that files for download returned 404 `Not Found` error, or new uploaded file could not be downloaded - the old version was returned instead.

My test/dev env is located on my local desktop. When I want to add some new features to the web site that is already in production - I develop and add new modules on my dev env. Then I use MySQL DB Dump for easy and fast upgrading my new features to the production server.

You are trying to make first steps in internet business, starting new ecommerce system or want to introduce yourself by weblog to the huge internet community. You've heard about Drupal and think it will fit all your demands. Don't think that it is true.

Good interconnection in the way of dialog between Drupal solution provider and client will bring you to the result you want.

I've been working for the IT about 10 years, more than 8 years use Web technologies to build web-ites, web interface for applications and intranet sites. My Language expertise: PHP, Python.
