I developed a website using Joomla with the Peoplebook component (http://www.missionsdoor.org/missionaries/), and have a new client interested in the same functionality.

I've since become more interested in Drupal. How I might deliver similar functionality using the Drupal framework? I've read and seen a little of Views2, not sure how that would fit. And, the "donate now" links would need to by distinct for each person listed.

Given the testimonials I'm reading about Drupal's power, seems like this should be possible. Anyone point me in the right direction or do I have to go back to Joomla? Thanks!

This is a great opportunity for you to see the power of Drupal! I would suggest using CCK to build a content type called "missionary". Then, using Taxonomy (core) you could attach taxonomies for "region" and "ministry type". Views will then provide you with the listing and filtering. I would suggest reading up on the Views documentation to get an idea how to do this. Good luck!
