Open Calais is a really interesting project. We're using it currently to tag articles automatically on a site we're developing called RootsWire. RootsWire is a blog aggregation project, and one of the first things we're using it for is to build a joint coverage system for the Democratic Convention. Calais has been really helpful for this.
This is a great comparison of the various editors for Drupal, written for the GHOP contest. Trying to decide which WYSIWYG editor to use? This will help
Drupal Dojo provides (more or less) weekly on-line lessons on all topics revolving around Drupal. Many of these are fairly intensely developer oriented, but they're always interesting.
We've been seeing an increasing interest in CIviCRM from clients. The CiviCRM people have been creating a series of screencasts on using CiviCRM. This is the introductory video from the series.
This is a little more advanced than most of the resources we highlight here, but it's a useful article about doing migrations to drupal from other forms of content. Nice article from Acquia.
This is a great idea - a scaffolding module for Drupal. It's basically a core module-building template that lets you start out with tried and tested examples of how to build a module, and then lets you fill in your own customized code - Another great idea from the Lullabots!
This is another brief tutorial article on creating panels in Panels 3 - Panels 2 is essentially dead, so it's time to start to learn the new more-complex world of panels 3. Thanks to Michelle Cox for this.

This is a great basic review of the different starter themes for Drupal, that are typically used by designers to create more complex custom themes. Thanks to Squiggy at Chapter Three.
Nick Lewis suggests some of the conditions necessary for a successful on-line community:
Like a tornado, online communities only form under certain
conditions. If you're looking to build an online community, understand
that they are very difficult to build artificially. They seem to only
emerge from natural conditions. Indeed, you can help them emerge, but
you can't *create* them in my experience.
Still bewildered by your TinyMCE configuration and why you can't quite get it to do what you want? This is a good beginning tutorial for setting up TinyMCE using some of the newer modules available.
The SMS Framework module is part of the notifications system in Drupal. This can be very powerful in conjunction with wireless devices. Development Seed tells you about using improvements in the module that allow for double opt-in.
For those of you of a more technical bent - when you build your Drupal site, do you ever wonder if you're making the right choice for database engines? I know I do - this article will help.
As usual, Earl Miles hits this on the head as far as we're concerned. The problem with terms like taxonomy in Drupal isn't that we use the term (which is, after all, the right word in this case) but that we don't use it consistently and don't do a very good job of explaining it.
This is a nice introduction to learning how to apply different theming to different parts of you site, either by using a different theme entirely, or by using different template files in your theme for different types of content.
The scheduler module is one way to schedule the posting, unposting, etc. of content in Drupal. This screencast steps you through using the scheduler module.
