Many of you know I've been pushing Drupal (up hill!) at UNR since I interviewed here 6 months ago. At the end of last semester, I actually attended a meeting to discuss deploying several Word Press "sites" instead of a single Drupal driven site because many of the journalism grad students and faculty found Drupal to be too difficult to work with. I managed to convince them to stay the course by reminding them of their original vision for the site... |
We want to apply Web2.0 technologies used in sites like MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Upcoming, Delicious, and Google Maps to environmental journalism.
When Drupal sites and Drupal supporters in the Newspaper industry win awards like this, it helps validate what I've been saying making me seem less like a crazy from the future who comes to meeting blowing everyone's minds and talking crazy moon speak. If you Digg, please Digg this and pass it on to your friends.
In other Drupal news, I've posted the first commit to RSJ Promise. My brother, Scott, did most of the coding to convert the PHP I had embedded in Pages last semester into an actual module. What is up there now is very basic, but hopefully enough of a start to generate some interest and find more developers willing to help us flush out the functionality. If you are running Drupal 5, please download the module and take a look.
