I haven't seen this on Planet Drupal, so thought it was worthy to post myself. After 16 months since going online...DrupalSites.net now how 1000 sites listed.
Good news everyone: 1000 great Drupal powered sites are listed at DrupalSites.net! A big thank you and congratulations everyone! Keep it coming!
I don't visit the site too often, but have used it when I'm in a pinch to show someone examples of Drupal powered sites.
In a blog on the Joomla! Developer Network, Wilco Jansen posted an article describing the changes that have taken place between Joomla! 1.5's beta-1 and beta-2.
The following are some of the changes in user features for Joomla! 1.5 beta-2 that caught my eye:
Of the above features changes, I'm probably most interested in the implementation of caching as well as the the refactored session management. These changes should really help improve Joomla's performance on the server. Plus, as most of you know, I'm a big fan of eAccelerator and any other tools to get the server humming along.
From CMS Report's very beginning, I had every intention to talk about not only those content management systems (CMS) that are open source, but also those CMS that are considered propriety systems. I personally don't have a problem seeing companies making profit for the products they develop and promote. Yet, if you look at the majority of posts I have written in the past year you'll find that about 95% of the articles center around open source CMS and not propriety systems. Part of the reason I don't talk much about propriety CMS is that I just don't have the same access to them as I do with open source software. However, a tiny article in one of the IT trade ma
I could not help but chuckle when I read this post. Donncha O Caoimh hinted that he may have released WordPress MU 1.1.1 a day earlier then he intended. Sort of like sending that e-mail or blog post sooner then you had intended. Despite the release of WordPress MU 1.1.1 a day early, it still sounds as if you can expect a good package out of this version.
Serendipity 1.1.1 was released to fix a few bugs. This is the first update to Serendipity 1.1 since it was first released at the end of 2006. The 1.1.1 update does not include any security fixes so you may not even need to update unless you've experienced one of these bugs:
In a blog post at the Serendipity site, Garvin also commented on the feature improvements that can be expected for Serendipity 1.2. Users of the weblog application can expect the following in Serendipity 1.2 once it is released :
Team Mambo released Mambo 4.5.5 which is a maintenance update for the 4.5.x series of the content maintenance system. All Mambo 4.5.x users are encouraged by the project leaders to upgrade to 4.5.5 which will avoid the possibility of your site visitors experiencing display issues in IE7. Fixes in the maintenance release includes:
Mambo 4.5.5 downloads are available at SourceForge.
I came across a very good article with regards to taxonomy titled, Search in Focus: Implementing a Taxonomy by Penny Crosman. The article is a month or two old, but I haven't run across it before so maybe others haven't either.
I received an interesting e-mail the other day through the contact form at my site regarding the social bookmarking "features" I have for my posts. The questions asked to me are quite common among new users of any Web content management system. While the questions in this particular e-mail I received would be more appropriate to be asked and answered in the forums at Drupal.org, there were some things in the message I felt the need to address though my blog.
What really keeps an open source project going? I think it all starts when someone in the open source community asks the tough questions. Take for instance this one, "Has XOOPS lost its appeal?". The project will evolve depending on how the project responds to such challenging questions. In this particular case, those closer to the open source project asked in a proactive response, "How do we give XOOPS appeal and user satisfaction?".
