Drupal quickies, december 2004
A second round of Drupal quickies for those who don't have the time to keep on top of all the recent happenings in Drupal land. Just don't get used to them.
- Our Paypal button generated about 600 euro so far. Thanks for the continued support. We still plan to add a 'Paypal tracker' so both donations and expenses can be tracked online at drupal.org.
- Chrisada ported Wordpress's Kubrick theme to Drupal 4.5. Check Chris' Kubrick page for details, or download it directly from the Kubrick theme project page at drupal.org.
- About.com elected Drupal as one of the top 10 weblog tools in 2004.
- Apparently, the drupal.com domain (not drupal.org) is for sale: only USD $6000.
- Drupal has been added to Download.com: you can rate Drupal, post your review or read up on what other people had to say about it.
- Drupal's multi-site support has much improved in Drupal HEAD, the development version of Drupal. Running multiple Drupal sites from a single Drupal code base has never been easier. Furthermore, each site can have site-specific themes and modules on top of the shared base configuration.
- Linux Journal switched from PostNuke to Drupal.
- We have been granted a developer room at FOSDEM'05, the Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting. As such, there will be a Drupal conference in Brussels (Belgium) on February 26th. A number of core developers have agreed to present something. More details as soon we worked out a schedule.
- Lockergnome interviewed Drupal developer Adrian Rossouw. Read all about it here.
- I plan to release Drupal 4.5.2, a second maintenance release, in January. The DRUPAL-4-5 branch is being maintained so it's important that you keep fixing those bugs.
- I added my personal contact module to the CVS repository. It will be part of Drupal 4.6. (No, we don't know when Drupal 4.6 will be ready.)
- Thanks to Boris Mann, Richard Eriksson and Charlie Lowe, a drupal-docs mailing list has been setup. If you want to contribute to Drupal but you don't know any PHP or HTML, subscribe to the drupal-docs mailing list and get your hands dirty with the documenation.
- Jonas Luster of http://jluster.org/ wrote a Flickr module for Drupal and is working on a handful of other modules. He has CVS access to Drupal's contributions repository so hopefully he'll start sharing his modules soon.
