eZ Publish Fork?

Image credit: Malinky on Flickr
Sandro Groganz just tweeted a link to Kristof Coomans’s proposal of a community fork of eZ Publish. Kristof is about to be a former employee of eZ Systems Belgium and seems to be quite frustrated with eZ’s lack of progress and openness with the platform.
To me, this [...]

The Significance of Recovery.gov on Drupal

Last week, I read Dries’s announcement about the recovery.gov site running on Drupal. I also though that was pretty cool but not worth a blog post. Instead I just cataloged it as an interesting Drupal site. Last night my friend Gregor Rothfuss sent me a link that helped me realize what [...]

Alfrescal

Jeff Potts recently announced the general availability of an integration between Drupal and Alfresco. The integration uses CMIS and could potentially connect Drupal to any CMIS compliant repository.

Modeled after the Audubon Society’s Great Backyard Bird Count, the GBPC attempts to survey Plone sites in the wild.

Django Contrib

Jacob Kaplan-Moss wrote very good post on the purpose of django.contrib. For those unfamiliar with the Django project, django.contrib is a tightly managed, highly used collection of modules (packages in Python). Contrib is not quite Django core, but much more part of Django than the free-for-all of shared re-usable applications.
The reason [...]

Iron CMS

George DeMet, over at Palantir, has thrown down the gauntlet. He will be hosting a SXSW panel where different CMS compete on implementations of the same website design and specification. There will be three teams representing Drupal, Joomla! and WordPress. Each will have 100 hours to develop the site.

I love the [...]
