Hi!
Yesterday, I created a module with Features(1,2). It is called Basic
Insight Features, you can download with git.(3)
Features is a great tool because you can create complex module(s)
easily. If we can use this somehow, it would be good.
I created 2 drupal sites yesterday to test this feature, how it works
etc-etc. I succesfully enabled BIF module on the second site and just
downloaded its dependencies. At the end I got a fully configured
Insight clone. So, it makes the process of building of the test
enviroment much more simple and the stg instance -> prod. instance
process too.
Well, as I mentioned it before, it is working well but there is a bug
like primary links item's sequence is not correct. I am investigating
this. In the end, I am creating a review request due to features
module.

This looks like a fascinating module.
* Does it capture permissions changes for roles, that relate to new
modules?
* Does it capture settings made in the administrative control panels
for a module? Say, for instance, I add the "authfas" module, which
has settings for (1) the URL for the FAS system, (2) the group
membership to map to "authenticated users", and (3) the FAS group
<--> Drupal RID mappings. Will it capture these?
What would be really helpful is if you could draft up a standard
operating procedure (SOP) proposal, that shows everyone how we can
collaborate effectively using the Features module. Start by assuming
we'll use a git repository to manage changes, and describe how one
would clone the repo, make changes, commit and push the changes, and
manage their deployment to the staging and production sites.
Depending on the capabilities, I think this would be a tremendous help
for managing our site development. Thanks for finding it and telling
us about it!
