This afternoon, I'll be participating in a presentation on Drupal at Purdue University's Teaching with Technology Conference. Shockwave and original OpenOffice versions are availlable on my weblog at cyberdash.com along with links to some of the Purdue Drupal teaching sites. The presentation is CC copyleft licensed, so feel free to use it.
In this thread one can post working PHP code to be put in a block. You can copy the code in a new custom block on your Drupal site. Note that this code is "AS IS" and might not work on all versions/platvorms and isn't up to the quality of the Drupal core code itself.
Over the past weeks I've been working on extending the project module and CVS module. The former is responsible for managing projects on drupal.org while the latter lets us track development. As of a few minutes ago, the improvements went live so read on for an overview of what changed.
After using XOOPS for the past year and using Mambo for another site, I discovered Drupal via the urlgreyhot.com site. I have a few sites, but I decided to pilot Drupal on my personal web site, Nautis Project. My day job is management consulting (IT Strategy and Knowledge Management) - so I work with information architects quite a bit. I'm impressed by Drupal's taxonomy core. This system seems to have been built correctly from the ground up. Some of the most sophisticated content management systems out there (Interwoven, Vignette, Documentum) have still not mastered this idea very well.
