News and announcements

Dan Gillmor wrote about CivicSpace Labs where Zack and I do our work on Drupal. It is a good summary of what we are doing organizationally. Drupal is even mentioned specifically towards the end.

The largest current installation of Drupal 4.4.0 in terms of community size has recently been upgraded to V.2.0. The common code for this blogging community powers motime.com and tipic.com (in English) and splinder.it (in Italian). Among them, there are more than 180,000 registered users.

One of the more interesting aspects of the Splinder/Motime project is the way that it takes advantage of a series of stand-alone modules written by Tipic, Inc. which showcase the flexibility of Drupal's module-based architecture.

The following is a summary of what we have been working on since the release of
Drupal 4.4.0 (approximately one month ago), what we are currently working on, and what
we like to work on.

The Drupal project has released version 4.4.1 of its open-source content management platform today. As no critical bugs have been identified, this is a minor bugfix and maintenance release. There are no new features in this installment.

As an open source software project maintained and developed by a community, Drupal is free to download and use. You can download Drupal 4.4.1 by clicking the link below:
