Hey guys!

I've been working on a Firefox extension called BackendInfo, I thought some of you might be interested in.

It tries to detect name and version number of different backends, including Drupal, Joomla, phpBB, Django, Wordpress, etc. It does that actually very well and testing sites from here or here, the extension succeeds in finding the exact version number quite often (eg. Drupal 6.7). Actually it works it's way up from first detecting a "Drupal" backend and starting this filters children that check for more specific versions (eg "Drupal 6.x"). The next series tries to detect the x :-)

Currently the detection of the different Drupal versions relies mostly on the typical leftover CHANGELOG.txt (tip: rename it to .php, or put it somewhere safer), but other backends are detected via changes in the css, html and directory structure between specific releases. I probably will update the drupal filters these days, that it will detect the version in more ways than only with CHANGELOG.txt.

My efforts on drupal since past 2 years have now taken shape. The start of weboye - a drupal based consultancy and development firm, which would give clients ease of drupal.
We have optimized drupal code and included plethora of contributed modules along with a framework theme to form a concrete solution to construct complex websites.
We are on our starting phase and suggestions and ideas are welcome .We have a feedback section on the website.
