After several months of private beta testing, Benjamin Schrauwen and I are happy to unveil Mollom, your partner in automated content monitoring. Mollom's purpose is to dramatically reduce the effort of keeping your websites clean and the quality of their user-generated content high. Currently, Mollom is a spam-killing, one-two punch combination of a state-of-the-art spam filter and CAPTCHA server. We are experimenting with automated content quality assessments, but these are still in an early testing phase.
If you're interested in learning more about how Mollom works, check out the 'How Mollom works' page and visit the Mollom FAQs for more details.
I have just posted audio from a session that took place yesterday at DrupalCampNYC4. Topics covered in this discussion include:
* Moving updates from a dev site to live site without mucking things up
* Getting answers from the Drupal community
* Integrating Drupal with 3rd party services like Google Analytics
* The management of modules
FYI just saw this over at TechCrunch... more at http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/27/pirillo-starts-large-scale-communit... and I wonder how (if?) it relates to Drupal development here... like are any developers here involved, or is this seen more of an offshoot... and some other threads I've seen on here about plug-and-play ease of install. btw another Drupal-Pirillo related thread here may be over at http://drupal.org/node/167246:
The project will be built on the open source Drupal framework:
“For the geeks: Drupal has so much power in its core, and enough fantastic community-contributed modules, that I think it’s time to assemble an Install Profile, complete with beautiful (accessible, microformat’ed, high quality) themes, pre-set Views for any Web community to either install on their own or have hosted at any given Web host that supports Drupal with optimizations. The benefits to you should be more than obvious….And I don’t mean just the framework for the community platform, I mean… like, it’s ready to go. “It’s not the features, it’s the implementation.”
