News and announcements

"Drupal Notifier" provides information on the status of installed and active modules for CMS Drupal. With every request from IPhone App Drupal Notifier the website sends another request to update.drupal.org service and provides information in xml format. This programm reflects status by modules for your website. It tells you which modules need to be updated and what new versions are available.

I've just reviewed a new report on Drupal written by open source expert, Seth Gottlieb from Content Here.

In the post I write that: "Drupal gets the job done according to Gottlieb. The report however also points out some helpful caveats; especially with regards to 3rd party modules and the upgrade process. For a future edition, a mention of Drupal’s handling of accessibility and standards would be a valuable addition."

By chance I opened the SA-CORE-2009-005-5.16.patch and found out we also had to update all themes we changed and/or created ourselves. Both for Drupal 5 and Drupal 6!
Be warned !!

I'm here at CMS Expo 2009 just outside Chicago, and saw Colleen Caroll give her presentation in yesterday's rehash of the SXSW Showdown. Nothing changed there, by the way. It still apears that all CMSs are special, which means that none are.

Anyway, each CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!) was introduced with it's special theme song, or as close at George DeMet could come, including, of course, Jeff Robin's Drupal Song, which Colleen said sounded like the Dradle song when she sang it.

So, I thought...why not?

Hi folks!
