The \"Drupal\" module features a capability whereby other drupal sites may call home to report their existence. In turn, this enables a pod of Drupal sites to find, cooperate and advertise each other.

-

Currently, the main application of this feature is the Drupal sites page. By default, fresh Drupal installations can use drupal.org as their directory server and report their existence. This reporting occurs via scheduled XML-RPC pings.

-

Drupal administrators should simply enable this feature to get listed on the Drupal sites page. Just set your site's name, e-mail address, slogan and mission statement on the administer » settings page. Then make sure that the field called Drupal XML-RPC server on the administer » settings » drupal page is set to %drupal-xml-rpc, and enable this feature using the dropdown directly below.

-

The listing of your site will occur shortly after your site's next cron run. Note that cron.php should be called using the domain name which you want to have listed at drupal.org. For example, don't kick off cron by requesting http://127.0.0.1/cron.php. Instead, use a publicly accessible domain name such as http://www.example.com/cron.php.

-

Also note that your installation need not use drupal.org as its directory server. For example, this feature is perfectly capable of aggregating pings from all of your departmental drupal installations sites within an enterprise.
