Why We're Here

in

Drupal is growing faster than anyone can keep up with. The software keeps expanding, and every day there are more modules, more different ways to do things, and more ways to get confused.

Though there are a lot of growing resources, books, and references for the Drupal developer, there's always been a shortage of references for people who are starting to learn Drupal from the viewpoint of someone who just wants to learn how to use the system to add content or who does not want to learn a lot about development or html.

So - where did all that content come from?

Ack - those of you who don't have accounts on the site will have noticed that a whole lot of content showed up today.  That's what happens when you don't look at the site as an anonymous user for weeks.   Seems there was a little problem caused by some access control modules we'd installed but hadn't removed correctly.  Anyway, all the stuff that was posted for the last few weeks suddenly will have shown up today for anonymous users.

Sorry for the problem.  We don't think it'll happen again ---

Live from DrupalCon

in

At the moment I'm on the floor at Drupalcon, listening to a talk on The Future of Fields, which is a discussion of the recent data sprint, looking at the future of how fields and data should be handled in future Drupal releases. This is interesting stuff.


So far it has been a great conference, with a lot of interesting people sharing their Drupal-iciousness.

Drupal 6.0 Released

in

Drupal 6 was released this morning.  Figured it had to be imminent since yesterday it was down to ONE critical bug. This is all very exciting, since Drupal 6 has a lot of really interesting and powerful features .  Of course, it'll be a little while before people are deploying Drupal 6 in droves - the modules need to catch up, and a lot of other ducks need to get in a row before people can use the full power of the new release.  But it'll happen soon enough.

Drupal For Users is coming

in

Drupal For Users will be a web site containing tutorials and information for people who are using the Drupal Content Management System. This site is not intended for developers or web gurus, but is meant for people who want to learn how to maintain a web site using Drupal, and who may not have large amounts of experience with web sites or HTML.
