Also, we posted the slides from our talk on the integration here: http://www.slideshare.net/jonstahl/an-open-civic-engagement-platform-plone-salesforce-and-friends-1389052 We're working on some additional documentation and screencasts as well as a distribution of Plone that includes the salesforce.com integration ready to go! Look for that shortly. Cheers, Chris Michelle,

Simply put: we don't make any assumptions about how you're modeling your data, we just let you grab it as you need to. Michelle-

The most recent update of the salesforce module was in late February and looks like Chapter Three is taking the lead on that... it used to be Trellon, but I don't think they ever got their code in a reusable format... just for client sites. With joshk as the maintainer, the quality should be better than average. The drupal working group for CRM integrations is here: http://groups.drupal.org/enterprise-crm-integration The Salesforce module is here: http://drupal.org/project/salesforce And the devil is probably keeping up with the Salesforce API... most of these intergation modules get built for a single client as a point solution and the module is not really maintained robustly over the various drupal version and salesforce api changes. But as long as folks want to fund it/ work on it, there will always be a good solution. Like everything in Drupal land, there is code for that… though the quality varies widely.
