New Drupal release candidate!

Filed under Free-Libre Open Source Software, Internet, Web on 1st Oct -04

So maybe this shouldn’t excite me as much as it does, but from looking at the list of changes, there’s a lot here to be excited about.

If you’re not familiar Drupal, it’s a Free/Libre Open Source Software [definition] content management system with strong focus on creating online spaces that can support communication of offline or online communities.

Drupal is seeing increasing use by non-profit technology assistance providers - in fact at PTP we’re using it to support one of our training programs. Additionally, Drupal was used at the basis for DeanSpace - the campaign-website-in-a-box that was developed as part of the Howard Dean campaign.

Though the campaign is over, DeanSpace lives on under it’s new name CivicSpace. You can see the work that the form Dean coders are doing at CivicSpaceLabs.org.

This latest release candidate of Drupal seems to have a number of features that many of us felt were sorely lacking, so I’m looking forward to kicking the tires and testing it all out.
