Forum favourites: multi-node Orchard, community features and low-level data access
Forum topics from the Orchard discussion board that we found interesting: Running Orchard on two nodes: this is a tricky thing but in this discussion there some good tips Community features in Orchard: a lot of built-in and third-party modules bring "social" functionality to Orchard. You won't be able to just install Contrib.Facebook but there are some decent fundamentals.

Forum favourites: records, database indices and about the necessity of drivers
Forum topics from the Orchard discussion board that we found interesting: "Record persisting advices": checklist if you want to store something in a low-level (non-content part) record "Adding empty part to type fails": always create a driver for your part "Records only in Models namespace: good?": remember to put your records under the Models namespace "Indices with SchemaBuilder": you can add database indices from migrations, but only from AlterTable
