News and announcements

Three students of Computer Engineer from Leon, Spain, have done an Accesibility analysis of some Drupal modules. The test we have done is currently in spanish, but we are working in an english version.
We hope our work will be useful and will improve Drupal Accesibility level.
The link to the Accessibility analysis is this: http://rapidshare.com/files/57068206/AccesibilidadDrupal.pdf.html

Today I just noticed that the jQuery team has been working on a set of UI components that are built on top of jQuery. Does the development team of Drupal have any thoughts about its inclusion and/or use within Drupal?

How about drupal7 drops support for the old postgres 7.4 and require version 8.0 or later

The upgrade from 7.4 to 8.0 is an easy one, and pg8+ is in most distros.

some examples of features missing from 7.4 (that drupal 6 uses)

add constraint when added a column
add default when adding a column
adding a column of type serial.

probably more.

Hey! I hope this is the right forum. We're building some brochure websites for a handful of Fortune 500 companies. If you're interested in integrating Drupal with our existing front-end, please contact me @ ryan [at] operanewmedia.com

"When you turn on your computer, you're making a political statement. If, like
most people, your computer boots Microsoft Windows, the statement you're making
