I recently finished a whole slew of programming modifying drupal 4.6.3 for my newspaper website, http://www.sbindependent.org
The front page as it stands is a result of 3 custom modules and virtually no modifications to core.
For story posts, I was able to forego the need to ad image content directly into articles (the img_assist concept) and instead use contextual image associations to run the image content.
It is with fond gratitude to tamarian @ vbulletin.org who put the piece together as a package for vbulletin, that CastleCops Deutsch is now up and running with Drupal as the CMS and vbulletin as the forums/comments to drupal.
Many people belive that ubuntu uses Drupal, that's wrong they are using Plone.
But....
The Ubuntu people are working on an Community Portal for Ubuntu Users called "The Fridge" avaible on http://fridge.ubuntu.com.
Looks like drupal, is drupal.
