News and announcements

Dear Drupal-ians

I need help to get a website going for a band of extraordinary volunteers helping with relief work in remote areas of SW Aceh.

Their current website is at: http://www.mentawai.com/aceh.html

THey have asked for construction of a more intuitive, facilitative website to expedite their endeavours, as they advance their mission to build a sea bridge of ships.

FireOrb.org is a developer and hacks repository (file dump) for Drupal code. A place where developers can find those code snippets and odd ball patches that never will make it into the Drupal system or are site particular. Stuff that probably has to be done by a PHP developer and not your common end-user.

I am hunting down all those bits and links that I have found useful in developing my sites and gathering them all into one place. If you have something that you would like to contribute or have found and want a memorable place to store it then send me a link or a file.

Would you mind, guys, if I make a small announcement here?

I released BlogJet 1.5 today - it's a weblog client for Windows with rich (WYSIWYG) editor. Now it supports Drupal. Though, it's not open source, and it's not even free ($39.95, free 30-day trial), I thought anyone might be interested in it.

Drupal rocks!

Thanks,

This certainly has long term implications for weblogging software development since MT has become the defacto standard for weblog design and implementation. From Slashdot:
